"Located in a basement in Marylebone that feels like the kind of place Charli XCX would have an afterparty, Nina is undeniably cool. The younger sibling of Zephyr and Bottarga, Nina has taken the best parts of both spots, and made it Italian. Raw yellowtail floating on a generous creamy stracciatella boat, and rich taleggio truffle arancini start your meal on a cheesy high. And mains—classic spaghetti in tomato sauce elevated with more stringy stracciatella, and chicken milanese so big it might well be the whole chicken—do a good job of maintaining that high. It’s easily one of London’s best and most exciting Italian restaurants. For a reservation in the immediate future, have a click around until you find a nocturnal 9pm slot, but for a primetime table, delayed gratification is the name of the game. They take bookings up to five months in advance so do future you a favour and secure one now." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
