Why it's in the guide

A shoebox-sized Italian on the Fulham Road, opposite the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, that has been doing the same thing brilliantly since 1998. No gimmicks, no Instagram moments: just properly made pasta — the eponymous spaghetti aglio e olio included — served fast and in portions that shame fancier neighbours. Tables are packed close and the room hums at peak, which is half the appeal. The welcome makes you a regular after one visit, and the bill stays sane by Chelsea standards.

Generous portions of honest Italian. The truffle pasta is a steal
