“Tucked away in Marylebone, with a friendly vibe and tasty food”, this creative outfit marries flavours from Spanish, Italian and Japanese cuisine. “Some of the tapas are very good indeed”, and they are supported by a serious wine list focused on Spain and Italy.

“Fantastic food and professional service” combine at this Marylebone tapas bar, where Amalfi-born chef Eduardo Tuccillo creates a ‘connubio’ or marriage of Mediterranean flavours, drawing broadly on Spain for the meat dishes and his native Italy for vegetables. If choosing is tricky, there is a range of tasting menus to ease ordering.

“Really enjoyable” is the general verdict on this “creative” (if “slightly cramped”) Marylebone tapas bar with a ‘twist’ – the twist being that the dishes are not Spanish but a marriage, ‘connubio’ in Italian, of different cuisines – hence the recent re-launch (it was founded seven years back as Twist at Crawford).

“Very surprisingly delicious, every mouthful – way beyond expectations” – Eduardo Tuccillo’s tucked-away Marylebone venture (on the site that ages ago was Garbo’s, RIP) is arguably “very underrated due to its location” in a “so-loud, as it’s so-small” two-floor space. But while it feels “too casual to be a very special night out, the food and service can’t be beaten”: “a different approach with tapas that aren’t just Spanish” delivering “some inspired food combinations”. “On the pricey side, but consistently well worth it.”
