Ordering Strategy

Start with the olive oil tasting and bread—it is a ritual here. Share raw plates and the signature baccalà, then split a pasta and a main fish dish.

What to order

Safe first

Roasted octopus with 'colonnata' lard

Described as a 'bonafide home run' by Square Mile, this starter featuring marinated bell peppers and olives is noted for leaving diners 'wanting more.'

Hungry

Maccheroncini with prawns, long pepper, lemon and bottarga

Hailed as 'one of the best pasta dishes' a reviewer has ever eaten, it is served in a casserole dish and praised for its intense 'zesty, lemony flavour.'

Wildcard

Olive Oil Tasting

A signature experience where Jay Rayner describes the oils as 'so virgin, so unsullied, they make dedicated nuns look debauched.'

Wildcard

Seared monkfish with batons of crispy pig cheek

An unexpected pairing highlighted by Jay Rayner that combines delicate seafood with hearty, crispy pork and a broad bean puree.
