Pici

You'll find Pici tucked away on Broad Street, in that bit of the city centre where things actually feel considered rather than chain-heavy. It's the sort of place that takes Italian food seriously without being pretentious about it — they're making their own pasta, sourcing ingredients properly, and you can tell they know what they're doing. The space has that warm, unfussy feel that makes you want to linger, whether you're in for a quick lunch or settling in for the evening. This is neighbourhood restaurant cooking at its best, the kind of spot that makes you wonder why you ever bothered going anywhere else.
