Ms. Macaroon's review of Cecconi's

Cecconis's is definitely one of the most glamorous London restaurants about. But the a la carte menu can be hit and miss, and sitting in the restaurant can sometimes mean a less-than-good table. The best way to do Cecconi's is to grab a couple of seats at the bar, on the left hand side near the Italian tapas and spend an afternoon/evening drinking draught prosecco and snacking on Italian ciccetti (small plates like tapas). That way you get a great view of the restaurant for people-watching, and constant service. They will also bring magnificent platters of meats and cheeses, but find out the price before ordering them, unless you want a heart attack.
