A lively Italian aperitivo spot bringing the seaside to Notting Hill with giant metre-long sharing boards of fried seafood and mammoth gourmet paninis.
Ordering Strategy
The portions are generous; the sharing boards are priced per person and are massive, so consider sharing one 'al metro' board for the table or tackling a panini individually if you have a big appetite.
What to order
Fritto Misto al Metro
An 'impressively long board' served by the metre that provides a 'wow moment' for parties; it features Prosecco-battered catch of the day, plump prawns, and Sicilian-style chickpea panelle.
Tuna Turner Panino
Described as 'simply the best panini' reviewers have had in a while, this Rosetta bun is generously stuffed with tuna tartare, cacio e pepe cream, and stracciatella.
Panarea Negroni
A 'punchy little sea-salted negroni' that 'hits you like a splash in the face' and is specifically noted for pairing excellently with the fried seafood.
The Spadino
A panino that had critics 'hooked,' featuring a seared swordfish cutlet paired with cured pork neck and lemon ricotta mousse; reviewers claim they 'didn't leave a crumb.'

Good to know
There is a large terrace with heating for year-round outdoor dining. The venue operates somewhat differently at lunch (kiosk-style) versus dinner (table service).
