Bocca di Lupo

London, UK

An atmosphere of carefree carousing permeates this glamorous Italian haunt, fuelled in part by an encyclopaedic selection of traditional liquors, which serve as the base for sophisticated spritzes and cocktails. Drawing inspiration from Italy's 20 regions, the kitchen serves each dish with the kind of quiet confidence that allows the ingredients to really shine. Menus often change twice a day to reflect the best of the season and the market's freshest produce – think small, punchy sharing plates such as sea bream carpaccio brightened with blood orange, sage leaves salted with anchovy, and silken handmade pastas that melt in the mouth. Inside, the dining room combines counter seating with tables for more traditional dining, with a few spots spilling onto the Soho pavement for al fresco meals when the weather allows. The space hums with energy: conversation flows, glasses clink and the scent of butter, citrus and herbs drifts from the open kitchen.
