The 14 Best Italian Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"Located in a basement in Marylebone, with lighting that shaves five years off anyone sitting inside, Nina is undeniably cool and the food is excellent too. Raw yellowtail floating on a generous, creamy stracciatella boat, and rich taleggio truffle arancini start a 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. 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, sinead cranna, daisy meager
