Fiume Italian Bar & Restaurant

Head down to Bridgnorth Road and you'll find yourself in a space that actually feels like you've stumbled into somewhere that knows what it's doing. Fiume takes Italian food seriously without the stuffiness—the kind of place where they're making fresh pasta because that's what you do, not because it looks good on Instagram. You'll notice the care in the details: proper antipasti, sauces that taste like someone spent time on them, and staff who seem genuinely keen to chat about what you're eating rather than just dropping plates in front of you.
