Il Postino

You'll find yourself on Wells' most animated square, where Il Postino sits amongst the cathedral's shadow and market bustle. This is where locals actually eat, not where they take visitors to impress them. The kitchen takes Italian food seriously—think fresh tagliatelle with proper ragù, not shortcuts—but there's nothing pretentious about it. The room itself is warm and unpretentious, the kind of place where you recognise faces across tables and the staff know what they're doing without making a fuss about it.
