Where To Dine Along The Victoria Line

"There are few stations in London with as many dining options as Green Park. The choice can almost be overwhelming in this part of town, so let us remove that burden and recommend a visit to this long-standing member of the Mayfair dining scene. If classic Italian dishes are your thing, then this is the place to come – something that its scores of regulars have clearly recognised. Each dish, be it lobster linguine or rabbit ravioli, is delivered with care and quality. The restaurant is located on Jermyn Street, ideal for browsing the famous suit shops after your visit." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"One of London’s oldest Italian restaurants, this reliably enjoyable spot has benefitted from the years of practice. The kitchen focuses on an extensive menu of classically based dishes like veal and beef lasagne or linguine with lobster, with each one proving to be uncomplicated and well-executed. The many regulars come back time and again for their favourite dishes and the intimate, cosy atmosphere. The wine list is joyfully Italian, with some wonderful barolos among the choices." - Michelin Inspector

Where To Eat In Shoreditch When You Hate Shoreditch - London - The Infatuation

"Frills are not in Franco’s remit and nor either is portion control. The old school Italian caff on Rivington Street has long been a favourite amongst locals and the lunchtime crowd thanks to its hefty servings of carbs at very reasonable prices. Piping hot escalope between two slices of ciabatta and oozing mayo is a favourite amongst the hungover midweek crowd, as is mounds of creamy carbonara and a cheese and bean stacked jacket potato." - jake missing
