‘We believe in Scalini’, exhorts a disciple of this long-serving, ultra-traditional Italian. Despite its 23-year tenure, it never seems to go out of fashion & still turns hopeful chancers away at the door most nights, especially at weekends. Valerio Calzolari & his team provide charming service to all sorts of locals, as well as tourists & a regular showing of celebrities – note the photographic wall of fame at the back of the yellow dining room. Apart from the odd the seasonal special, the menu rarely changes because everyone’s happy with the old order – calf’s liver with polenta, skate with capers & garlic, & handmade pasta such as pappardelle with tomato sauce, prawns & asparagus. Like the menu, the wine list is Italian to the core, with the odd French vintage for good measure.
