17 Excellent Old-School Italian Spots In London - London - The Infatuation
"You know what never goes out of style? Having a laugh. Conchiglia is a textbook Tuscany-coded Italian deli in Fitzrovia that’s primed for big-belly giggles thanks to its cast of wildly entertaining characters. Mid-bite of simple, somewhat bland cacio e pepe, a sassy server will trot past with a two-litre fish bowl of Aperol spritz. Order Nonna’s Platter to try a blockbuster portion of three pastas of your choice—the pistachio mafaldine is our favourite—and try to angle yourself towards the unhinged chapel-esque picture above the stairs that somehow manages to feature Marilyn Monroe, Fellini, E.T., and, inexplicably, Batman." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
