Vasco & Piero's Pavilion

This Soho stalwart has served up unfussy Umbrian dishes since 1971 (and in this location since 1989). It must be doing something right. Perhaps punters are reassured by Vasco & Pierre's solid mix of classic Italian food and simple, no-frills setting?

Much of the produce here is sourced direct from small Umbrian farms, alongside seasonal white and black truffles from the region's hills. The menu changes twice daily, but diners can expect dishes such as tagliatelle with traditional Umbrian ragu or grilled fillet of swordfish with rosemary, chilli and cannellini beans. Umbrian meats and cheeses also feature.

Keep an eye out for special events and art exhibitions, too.
