"Bancone in Borough Yards is quite simply a beautiful place to eat beautiful pasta. Grab a counter seat and peer into the open kitchen as thin sheets of their signature silk handkerchiefs are tossed in a glossy walnut butter sauce and topped with confit yolks. We’re also big fans of the surprisingly light duck ragù with crunchy pieces of crackling scattered on top like breadcrumbs. For somewhere that feels quite special, it’s all very reasonably priced—like its outposts in Soho and Covent Garden." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
