"On a corner of Burleigh Street that feels removed from the tourist-filled, cobblestoned streets of Covent Garden, Italian restaurant Vasiniko makes some of London’s best pizzas. They’re Neapolitan-style, with doughy, charred crusts that could convert even a no-crusts kind of person. Don’t get distracted by specials like the creamy truffle-based tartufina, because you cannot leave without trying the straightforward margherita with its rich, basil-infused tomato sauce. Enjoy it in Vasiniko’s bright and airy, holiday-feel dining room with booths for groups." - sinead cranna, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager

"On a corner that feels removed from the tourist-filled, cobblestoned streets of Covent Garden, Italian restaurant Vasiniko makes some of London’s best pizzas. They’re Neapolitan-style, with wonderfully doughy, charred crusts that would convert even an anti-crust toddler to have a little chew. The bright, holiday-feel dining room is spacious and the friendly staff happily push tables together to accommodate groups, grabbing high chairs and offering to take family photos. Get the pistachio tiramisu for dessert—you’ll need it before re-entering Covent Garden with a pram." - rianne shlebak
"Nothing quite makes us work up an appetite like a whodunnit. Especially when it involves EastEnders alumni. Vasiniko, a holiday-feel Italian restaurant on Burleigh Street, is one of our favourite spots for a two-hour post-matinee debrief alongside some of London’s best pizzas. The rich, basil-infused tomato sauce means that you absolutely cannot leave without trying the Neapolitan-style margherita. You should get involved in the pistachio tiramisu, too." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Yes we love Vasiniko for its Neapolitan-style pizzas, but the pistachio tiramisu at this Covent Garden restaurant means we never leave without getting dessert. The whipped cream is mixed in with pistachio cream and pieces are sprinkled throughout, making it a cakey, crunchy combination that’s ideal when you’re after a post-dinner pick-me-up." - sinead cranna, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
