Grano Lab

Head down to Victoria Road and you'll find Grano Lab doing things properly—this is the kind of place where they're not mucking about with trends, just making genuinely good Italian food. You walk in and it feels lived-in rather than designed, the sort of spot where regulars have their spots and the staff actually know what they're talking about. The pasta here is the real deal, handmade and treated with respect, paired with seasonal ingredients that change depending on what's good rather than what's convenient. It's unpretentious but you can tell someone cares about getting the details right.
