Resto 37 Osteria London, Barbican
Good Italian food at Osteria.
Resto 29 Luce e Limone, Gray’s Inn
Maybe Otto’s would have been a better punt after all.
Resto 26 Fumo, St Martin’s Lane
Having dropped ninety quid in an hour for just enough food for a moderately-sized couple I realised that Fumo's dictator-chic interior is funded on the rapid turnover of dictator-budgeted clients spending such sums. It was fun while it lasted there's plenty of other places around St M's L that offer a similar service at less damage to the wallet.
Resto 22 Vicenzo Bar, Venice
Bar Vincenzo could save your life, depending on your problem.
Resto 21 Bar da Valentino, Venice
You think you can make pizza? I’ll show you how to finish off a pizza!
Resto 16 Vasco & Piero’s Pavilion, Soho
V&P gets a maximum for being one of those rare restaurants that does apparently simple things flawlessly. Which isn't simple at all.
Resto 15 La Saporita, Stroud Green
At about twenty quid a head with service I don't know why you'd go anywhere else for trad Italian in this neck of the woods.
