Vicino

An accomplished neighbourhood favourite, Vicino combines old-time charm with the look & feel of a modern trattoria. Inside, black-&-white portraits of spaghetti-loving diners rub shoulders with film memorabilia, while white tablecloths & sympathetic lighting give the place a welcoming vibe. Sit in the airy conservatory at the front if you can, & enjoy a menu that ranges from beef carpaccio & penne carbonara to more sophisticated offerings such as veal & ricotta ravioli or lobster, pumpkin & thyme risotto. For ‘dolci’, treat yourself to a classic tiramisu or pannacotta. The wide-ranging, patriotic wine list offers a few choice tipples by the half-bottle, as well as a clutch of more exclusive bins. Vicino is a ‘regular family haunt at weekends’, but expect hearty Italian hospitality whenever you drop in.
