Review #49 Osteria Tufo, Fonthill Road
Another Friday in Finsbury Park and another Italian. Osteria Tufo turns out to be the best so far this year.
Review #48 Abi Ruchi, Stoke Newington
Sunday evening in Stoke Newington and I’d forgotten that there was a match on. So before meeting in Abi Ruchi I had a pitstop in the excellent pub on the corner where by some curious conjunction I saw Jamie Vardy score to the sound of a typically bittersweet Elliott Smith track.

Missoni in Bermondsey
