"Don’t let the footlong pepper grinder fool you—Boccondivino is a charming throwback to 1970s family-run restaurants. The menu is simple, featuring a daily risotto and pasta served with freshly grated Parmigiano tableside and a robust selection of fresh salumi and cheeses. At dinner, the owner rolls a trolley overflowing with Italian cheeses around the room. It’s a dependable choice for a classic, relaxed lunch near Cadorna station, while dinner is more indulgent, with a multi-course fixed menu. Our only complaint is the bread basket needs an upgrade." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones
