Why it's in the guide

Simple yet elegant Italian cooking on Duke of York Square since 2003. The terrace overlooking the square is prime brunch territory, and the pasta dishes are reliably excellent, particularly the cacio e pepe and the truffle tagliolini. It's become the default Italian for Chelsea locals who want quality without formality. The weekend brunch with bellinis is a Chelsea institution in itself. Consistent, welcoming, and unpretentious.

The 120-seat terrace under giant parasols on Duke of York Square is one of the best alfresco lunches in west London.
