Da Vinci's Italian Restaurant

You're walking along the Quay on a Friday evening, the sun catching the water, and Da Vinci's is right there—unassuming frontage, big windows looking out over the harbour. Inside, it's warm and unpretentious; the sort of Italian restaurant that doesn't need to shout about itself. The menu leans into classics done well: fresh pasta, proper risotto, fish specials that change with what's landed. Service is attentive without hovering. Prices sit comfortably in the mid-range, so you can actually afford to come back without planning a second mortgage. It's been pulling in regulars for years, and you'll see why the moment you sit down.
