"Verdict: The Tuscan-inspired trattoria close to Farringdon station is so relaxed in its own skin, it imparts a natural feeling of scialla into all its diners. Dispatching a couple of £5 Negronis and eyeing up the blackboard bistecca alla Florentina is one of the great dining pleasures you can have. Finish off with a wedge of one of London’s best (and most generous) tiramisus. Look, this isn’t New York. Nobody wants to eat dinner at 10pm, so get organised. Reservations are released 14 days in advance at 9:30am and, if that doesn’t come off, push notifications for cancellations are recommended. That said, Brutto’s bar is one of the best around. Walk in and linger with a Negroni." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
