"Bancone is a little corridor of a restaurant on a quiet patch of Covent Garden that will provide all the important date night Ps: privacy, pasta, primitivo reds, and exposed light bulbs. That last one doesn’t begin with P but such is the sexual prowess of an exposed bulb that we will forgo our affinity for alliteration to tell you about it. The handmade pasta is excellent, available gluten-free, and importantly, is affordable. There are also lots of Nice Nibbly Things on the menu, including olives, burrata, and rosemary focaccia that are great with one of their Negronis." - heidi lauth beasley
