Wapping, Italian Restaurant Guide

“Simple pasta done very well” lives up to the billing at this straightforward chain, which added a branch on Baker Street complete with outside terrace to its other three locations at the start of 2024. They are “nothing amazing, but the food is good, the service friendly, and it is a very easy option” when out and about or “when cooking just feels like a chore”.

“Simply stunning food at a reasonable price” – from a “limited menu offering an original interpretation of modern Italian cooking” – has won a growing reputation for this high performer near Tower Bridge from ex-Trullo chef Matt Beardmore and ex-Barrafina manager Jay Patel (“I would eat here every day if I could”). The duo opened a spinoff wine bar/restaurant called Luna close by in summer 2025 (see also).
