"With its Mad Men-goes-to-Milan vibe, Cafe Murano is great for dazzling a date, or indeed a visiting parent; no scary ferments here. The two-for-£23 or three-for-£28 daily menu, which focuses on a different region each month (currently the vibe is Venetian), is available from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Pick a starter and main or a main and dessert: deep-fried and soused sardines to begin, followed by calves liver in the city’s style or a squid ink risotto with bottarga; or frittole with lemon cream for those in search of sweet." - Emma Hughes, James Hansen
