More of a world than simply a restaurant, Eataly encompasses a supermarket, two bars and three restaurants. Whilst you could spend a whole afternoon exploring the place, if you only have time to visit one part, make it Pasta E Pizza. The name may seem a little reductive and cheesy at first, but there is certainly something to be said for limited dishes done to perfection. The menu has a section dedicated just to cheese, which is freshly made by hand every day. The burrata in particular is melt-in-the-mouth delicious, served with salty artichokes as a foil to its creaminess. The restaurant offers two types of pasta: a fresh pasta made in-house and a dry pasta from Gragnano. The ‘Tajarin Al Tartufo’ is, with good reason, the most popular pasta on offer; simply made with butter, parmesan and fresh truffle, it is truly a masterclass in allowing fresh ingredients to shine. The best part? All the pasta served is available to take home from the market, so you can repeat your experience again and again.

La Nonna

Unit 7, Market Row, Brixton, SW9 8LB

Set in the heart of Brixton Market, La Nonna has captured a casual, easy form of dining. The menu is well thought through, though not extensive, so whilst you won’t be overwhelmed with choice, what you do try will be excellent. Their ethos is simply great pasta, humbly done without frills or fuss, where fresh ingredients reign supreme. With close knit tables and an eclectic decor style the whole place feels unfussy and welcoming. We recommend the Ravioli alla Zucca Mantovana, a pumpkin, leek and ricotta ravioli, a warming dish served with sage butter and 24 month parmesan.

The decadent folks at Big Mamma are back again with an eccentric Italian-American eatery. This time in Marylebone, with Carlotta. It’s their fifth restaurant in London and is 1980s themed and chintzy. There are brass palm trees and the team’s own 1980s family wedding pictures adorning the walls. Food is just as 1980s-themed and decadent, think Pasta all vodka with seafood and Fettuccine Alfredo al Tartufo.
