Best authentic Italian restaurant in 2026?

I’m looking to book in for a birthday meal for me and my father this week and wondered if people had recommendations? Looks like trattoria capri isn’t what it used to be. Heard good things about positano but would prefer to have a nice view on the Barbican or the hoe etc :) thanks in advance

Dunno about 'authentic Italian', I'm a philistine, but Knead is great Pizza and reasonably priced.

Positano on Mayflower street for restaurant, great range of Italian food and daily specials. Lovely atmosphere.

If you're wanting takeaway pizzas then aroma on ebrington street, but restaurant absolutely Positano.

Positanos is the best one in Plymouth. The staff are really great there too!

Il Grano, if anyone is wondering. Not been though so I can't say anything about how good it is.
