Prezzo Italian Restaurant Peterborough

You'll find this spot right on Cowgate, perfectly positioned for catching people before or after they've tackled the Cathedral Quarter's shopping. The dining room strikes that sweet spot between date night and family dinner territory, with enough ambient lighting to make everyone look good but not so dim you're squinting at the menu. The kitchen knows what it's doing with the classics - their carbonara actually has proper egg silk rather than the gloopy cream sauce some places try to pass off, and the pizzas emerge with properly charred crusts that have some bite to them. Portions are generous enough that you'll be taking home leftovers, which honestly makes the mid-range pricing feel more reasonable when you're getting two meals out of it.
