Although clearly designed with parliamentarians in mind, this surprisingly bright basement space plays host to tourists and Italian food aficionados in the evening; pre-theatre, it attracts bargain hunters for the great-value set meal.
Chef Stefano Savio has established a much appreciated pattern of sound sourcing, simple and precise cooking, and trencherman appetite-pleasing. You could dine lightly on grilled fish and sorbets, avoiding the pasta course, but that would miss the point.
A recent set menu featured butternut squash passatelli with gloriously rich taleggio sauce - 'best macaroni cheese I've had' was one not-quite-accurate comment. Veal meatballs were executed with a deft hand and the accompanying fresh tomato sauce and spinach were zesty enough to excuse a rich pasta indulgence. Salumi and cheeses are carefully selected, and wine by the glass (each course on the set menu features a recommendation), from a seriously Italian list, is both apt and surprisingly affordable. Reserve a corner for the delicious chocolate pudding: a molten lava of dark chocolate tempered by vanilla ice and fresh fruit.
Service was swift, accurate and friendly; an enquiry after the source of a salame resulted in the label being carefully stripped and pasted on paper for us to take home.
