"Bocca Di Lupo, a relaxed spot in Soho, serves such great Italian food that it’s impossible to leave here without performing spoken word about the silky orecchiette you just inhaled. Open for over 15 years, everything from the food, to the staff, to the laid-back feel, makes this place a London classic that’ll work just as well for an anniversary meal as for dinner with the whole family. Dinner isn’t complete without a post-pasta trip to its excellent gelato sibling next door, Gelupo. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
