"This woozy Clerkenwell small plates restaurant is one of London’s most gorgeous date night spots, but from Tuesdays to Fridays you should take yourself to Quality Wines for a little self-love. The weekly changing express lunch is a straightforward pasta and a glass for £15. Think bucatini con la sarde, handmade spaghetti and meatballs, or cavatelli with ventricina al sugo (a.k.a. salami and sausage)." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
