Spaghetti House • Italia

Next door to the famous London landmark, the English National Opera, Spaghetti House is not only the perfect pre or post show meal, but it is also a place where one can gossip over a cappuccino, replenish with a plate of pasta and watch the world go by. The menu holds all the 'trat traditional joys' but beautifully updated and freshly prepared. There are also many modern dishes which succeed in bringing a true taste of contemporary Italian cuisine to London, and an adventurous wine list to choose from. Top up your meal with a grappa and a cappuccino for a full experience. Large, airy and buzzy, this is a corner of Italy in the heart of London. A stone's throw from Trafalgar Square and the New Portrait Gallery, also the Garrick and Duke of York Theatres.
