The Best Penne Alla Vodka In London - London - The Infatuation

"Lavo in Marylebone looks like every restaurant featured on those social experiment documentaries (“dating shows”) that the producers choose in the hope that the wall of live flowers and big plush booths might secure an “I don’t care that it’s only been six days, I love you”. But beyond the burnt orange velvet stools, a far more exciting amber icon rises—their penne alla vodka. Zero complaints about the tip-toeing spice factor of the thick sauce and the chewy little prosciutto chunks that add a smokiness that cuts through the cream. Resist the urge to pause the server in the midst of cheese-grating. It’s a more the merrier parmesan situation." - heidi lauth beasley
