San Leo's Restaurant

Head down to Drury Lane and you'll find San Leo's tucked away where the city centre gets a bit quieter. It's the kind of place locals have actually worked out, without the fuss of somewhere trying to be fashionable. The menu leans Italian—proper handmade pasta, risotto done right, that sort of thing—and they clearly know what they're doing with the basics. The room itself feels unpretentious; you're here for the food, not the Instagram angle. Reviews consistently mention staff who actually know the menu and care whether you're having a good time.
