This evergreen (and ever-so-popular) Hampstead Italian is eschewing the regular set menu approach taken by most restaurants open on Christmas Day. Instead, they’ll be offering their standard à la carte menu of Mediterranean grills, salads, pastas (plus a few seasonal specials) and so on. Which means you can get into the spirit of the day by scoffing down lasagne and wood-fired pizza. And that really is a welcome Christmas gift.
