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

"Manteca’s large dining room feels constantly full. There are people crowding into booths for lunches that involve brown crab cacio e pepe; early days relationships sharing focaccia; and counter-cruisers ordering two plates of this, two glasses of that. The Shoreditch spot is stylish and assured, with accomplished, comforting dishes—like hogget and pistachio sausage and offal ragu numbers—that are just a little creative. Don’t ignore the john dory and house-cured Rizla-thin salumi." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
