"Ciao Bella’s legendary pavement terrace is where you go to slurp vongole and smoke Vogues. This raucous old-school Italian spot on Lamb’s Conduit Street is a much-celebrated part of London restaurant lore. Everyone has a soft spot for Ciao Bella. Not because the food is mind-blowing—even if troughs of spaghetti and slabs of tiramisu rarely do us wrong—but because the sing-a-long and wine-swigging vibe of this restaurant is completely infectious." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
