17 Excellent Old-School Italian Spots In London - London - The Infatuation
"You don’t come to Bar Italia because it’s the best place for an espresso or a cannoli, or because it’s cheap. You come for the atmosphere and camaraderie, the late-night (or early-morning) buzz, the people-watching, and to aimlessly yell at Italian football on the TV. It takes all the intangibles of Soho and puts them all in one place. Like The French House a couple of streets away, everyone passes through here at one point or another. It’s an institution—treat it like one." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
