"This High Street Kensington spot has been around since the ‘60s, and it continues to serve top-notch Italian food. But it’s not just the calamari and comforting plates of nutmeg and walnut gnocchi and veal milanese that make it so great. It’s the thoughtful (and slightly glam) heavy curtain at the entrance that keeps the cold air out, and the intimate booths at the back of the restaurant. Plus the friendly staff who make this somewhere you could easily spend a lot of time." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
