"Anyone who’s lost £20 just getting lunch from Pret knows the streets of London aren’t paved with gold. They’re paved with dried gum, fluttering week-old Metro pages, and feral pigeons. But Ciao Bella’s coveted pavement terrace is one stretch of concrete you won’t mind spending time on. Along Lamb’s Conduit Street, which makes a strong case for being London’s most idyllic road, it’s a place for slurping vongole and smoking Vogues while spaghetti-twirling and cackling. Even if you’re inside, this old-school Italian restaurant is endearingly raucous seven nights a week, and you’ll always be warmly welcomed into the Ciao Bella family." - daisy meager, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, jake
