Bocca di Lupo - London

With the sad demise of our old Italian favourite, Gennaro Contaldo's Passione in Charlotte str, it was with delight that we dined at Bocca di Lupo!

It is tutta L'Italiano!

Chef Jacob Kennedy delights with a contemporary take on Cucina povera. We dined at the bar, and were all truly satisfied and thrilled with the dishes.

Rob had the Rustic pork & foie gras sausage with farro & porcini from Trentino, Nibs t
Trofie with green beans, potato & pesto from Liguriahe, Shirley the Veal scallopini with artichokes & lemon from Lazio and I had the Braised beef cheeks on berlotti beans with pesto.

The sides were equally inspiring, Berlotti beans, roasted potatoes with rosemary and chestnuts an crispy deep fried artichokes.

We rounded it off with espresso, Vin Santo and a deliciously sharp Gorgonzola.

When in London make the effort:
