Burro

You're walking past the theatres and tourists of Covent Garden when you duck into Floral Court and suddenly you're somewhere else entirely. Burro is a proper neighbourhood trattoria—the kind that doesn't overthink things but gets the fundamentals absolutely right. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing with fresh pasta; expect impeccable cacio e pepe, silky carbonara, and the kind of simplicity that only works when the ingredients and technique are spot-on. It's got that warm, slightly chaotic energy of a busy Roman restaurant, without feeling like it's trying too hard to charm you.
