Square Meal review of 500:
Write your own review
Known for their love of wine, women & song, Italian men also have a soft spot for a small Fiat car. The 500, or ‘cinquecento’, is a shared passion of chef Mario Magli & manager Giorgio Pili, who both did a few circuits with some of London’s Italian culinary stars before taking the wheel at their own venture. Service here is genuinely effusive. The ‘good, honest, no-nonsense Italian cooking’ sees high-quality ingredients expertly fashioned into the likes of warm carpaccio of sea bass, gnocchi with a rich sausage ragù, grilled lamb cutlets with Jerusalem artichokes, or tender rabbit with pine nuts & black olives. Desserts are in the tiramisu, pannacotta or semifreddo mould, & the Italian wine list is as keenly priced as the rustic food. The location & decor (bare wooden floors & tables) might be mundane, but overall 500 is reckoned to be a ‘triumph’.
