Demartino

Proper Italian cooking on Great Portland Street where the pasta's made fresh and the wine list actually makes sense.

Walk into Demartino and you're immediately struck by how unpretentious the whole thing feels—white tablecloths and professional service, sure, but no velvet ropes or theatrical nonsense. This is the kind of place where you can tell they care about their ingredients because they're not trying to hide behind fancy plating. You'll find handmade pasta that tastes like someone's nonna actually knows what she's doing, and the kind of Italian wine pairings that won't require a second mortgage. The room itself has that warm, lived-in quality you get from somewhere that's been doing the same thing well for years rather than chasing trends.
