Italian bar and restaurant in Church Lane: handmade pasta, plates to share and cocktails. Opens late afternoon, Tuesday to Saturday.
No.5 Church Lane is an Italian bar and restaurant in the lane off Church Street, a minute back from the waterfront.
The menu is handmade pasta, generous plates meant for sharing, and desserts worth leaving room for. Italian in spirit rather than strictly traditional — familiar flavours, nothing precious about it.
Cocktails and wine are as much of the point as the food, so it also works for a drink before or after eating elsewhere in town.
It opens late afternoon and runs into the evening rather than trading all day, so it is a dinner plan rather than a lunch one. Book at weekends.
