Italian$$

Outside on the sleepy shopping strip it's pin-drop quiet; inside, however, there's vinyl spinning, locals sharing antipasti and folks sipping wine at the bar. Whitewashed walls and bundled pendant lights create a clean but cosy atmosphere, the perfect backdrop to a compact Italian menu. Start with nibbles such as polenta chunks with duck breast, or the crisp salt burst of crumbed and cheese-stuffed olives. Segue into a rich, fragrant mushroom risotto, a refreshing fennel, mint and apple salad, or one of the 10 varieties of stunning thin-based, generously dressed pizzas. Order judiciously to keep the evening in budget.
