Bocca di Lupo
Fantastic experience yesterday. It is a great place for a easy-going Sunday lunch! We have had such poor Italian food recently however this made up for it all!
We had:
- courgette flower (deliciously light)
-caponata (best I’ve had in UK and perfect for a hot day!)
- spaghetti with brown spider crab (much much better than we had recently at a North London Italian….)
- Capunti with squid ragu and bottargu (so fresh, so simple)
Freshness was evident across all dishes which allowed the flavours to be paramount.
We have been to more known-italian restaurants recently and been seriously underwhelmed. This is just did simple things without fuss brilliantly.

We have been multiple times and this was the best yet. The three course set menu started brilliantly (pea and jalapeño soup alongside prawn wontons), but the mains were even better (black olive gnocchi with heritage tomatoes and sole, tartlet, croquette with sauce vierge). Desserts were hazelnut crème brûlée and millionaires cake with malted ice cream.
