Giannis Italian Restaurant

You'll find Giannis tucked away on Victoria Road, in that stretch between the seafront and the town centre where locals actually eat. It's the sort of restaurant that's been doing its thing quietly for years, building a loyal crowd through decent food and no-nonsense hospitality rather than Instagram theatrics. Walk in and you're met with warm, unfussy Italian cooking: think pasta that tastes like someone knows what they're doing, seafood that's treated with respect, and a wine list that won't bankrupt you. The vibe is proper neighbourhood Italian—checked tablecloths, friendly staff who remember faces, the kind of place where you can have a rowdy night out or a peaceful dinner for two.
