Nina

You'll find Nina tucked away on Thayer Street, in that stretch of Marylebone where locals actually eat rather than just pass through. Walk in and there's an immediacy to it all—no faffing about with unnecessarily long menus or overly fussy plating. What you get instead is Italian food that knows what it's doing: the kind of pasta that's been rolled out by hand, sauces that have had proper time to develop, and a wine list that's clearly been curated by someone who actually cares. It's the sort of place where you can tell the kitchen respects their ingredients enough not to overcomplicate things, but skilled enough to make simplicity sing.
