Fine Foods - Locanda del Melo 🇮🇹

You'll find yourself on Long Lane in SE1, wandering into what feels like a proper neighbourhood Italian spot rather than another soho tourist trap. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious—locals tucking into handmade pasta while the kitchen works away without any fuss. It's the kind of place where you can tell they've sweated the details: sourcing matters, technique matters, but they're not going to bang on about it. Expect classic Italian cooking done right, the sort that makes you wonder why you've been settling for mediocre Italian in London for so long.
