David Ellis welcomed the opening of Nima Safaei’s third restaurant in Soho – a “spiritual successor” to the inexpensive old-school Italian restaurants that made the district famous.
David’s party of three shared a three-course meal plus wine and service for £110 all in. The food – mainly classic pasta dishes – may not have been adventurous, but “unlike the old guard, these plates are all genuinely good”.
“Safaei has opened somewhere from before, when restaurateurs thought business was all about making their customers feel good. No wonder they call him the Duchess of Soho.”
