"For a chic date night or low-key cool group dinner, look no further than Ombra. At the Italian spot by the Regent’s Canal, empty wine bottles find new life as vases for dried flowers and candles flicker on tables. Bottles of wine with cool labels are ferried to tables puncturing puffy gnocco fritto, and spritzes are delivered to couples dissecting a fried artichoke layer by layer. Expect your repressed hoarder tendencies to surface as you guard, sorry share, the excellent food. Especially with the tiramisu. We would cross oceans during a storm for it—and by that we mean, walk across a bridge over the Thames when it’s mizzling." - Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna
