Bello, on Friargate, has been Preston's reliable old-school Italian for over thirty years — a small, white-tablecloth dining room a few minutes from the Harris, doing handmade pasta, pizza from a proper oven, and seasonal Italian mains with a strong vegetarian section. The wine list is short but well chosen, the service unhurried, and the regulars include several generations of the same Preston families.
Bookings recommended for weekend evenings. Lunch deals weekdays are particularly good value.
