Alexandra Ristorante Italiano

You're walking along Harbour Parade with the sea at your back, and you slip into Alexandra feeling like you've just found what Ramsgate's been missing. This isn't the sort of place that's trying too hard—the room is warm, unpretentious, the kind of spot where locals actually eat, not tourists hunting for Instagram moments. They take their Italian seriously here: proper pasta shapes, sauces that taste like someone's nonna had a hand in them, and they're not mucking about with fusions or modernist nonsense. The wine list is thoughtful without being snobbish, and staff know their stuff without making you feel like you're being tested.
