Fabio Ristorante

You'll find yourself on Bath Road heading towards the town centre, and Fabio's the kind of place that makes you glad you bothered. It's got that relaxed Italian trattoria feel—warm lighting, proper tablecloths, the sort of spot where they know what they're doing without being pretentious about it. Walk in and you're not dealing with chains or shortcuts; this is the real thing, whether you're after handmade pasta or something off the grill. The team clearly takes pride in what leaves the kitchen, and it shows in how busy it gets. Book ahead or you'll be kicking yourself.
