This North London restaurant is famous for its excellent modern Italian food. Dishes change seasonally, but you can expect to tuck into something along the lines of venison carpaccio with orange oil, pumpkin ravioli or courgette flowers stuffed with crabmeat. The cheese plate, which comes garnished with a dollop of mostarda di cremona, is worthy of mention, but try to leave room for puddings such as cheese & lemon tart. The ?simple elegance? of the room, with its brick walls & starched linen, is much appreciated by the mainly local clientele, as is the ?professional?, ?discreet? service.
