Our verdict

An intimate yet bustling pasta and wine bar where everything is well favoured and exciting. Drawing inspiration from his mother’s connection to Italy, the chef brings a less-is-more approach to dishes that are perennial favourites. Small-batch, mainly organic or bio-dynamic wines complement the menu and the warm welcome and service are a hallmark of genuine hospitality.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
