Nothing at Pete’s Place looks like it’s changed in decades – not the familiar red-and-black-checkered tablecloths and napkins, not the brickwork and, in some cases, we suspect, not the waiters either. If the famously well-stocked salad bar doesn’t tempt you, the fettucine bolognaise might; it’s meaty and sweet with carrots, while the thick loops of pappardalle are stirred with mushroom and heady thyme notes. Like the discs of pizza that waft across the room, it’s all a little rough and ready; but that’s part of the nostalgic charm of a restaurant that still fills up, even on weekdays, with a mix of families and solo hotel guests.
