Bocca di Lupo
This place is loved by 1 members
$$
This is the first solo venture from chef/patron Jacob Kenedy, who was previously head chef at classic Clerkenwell haunt Moro, and penned the famous Moro cookbooks. You can sit at the marble bar where Kenedy, who was described by Moro owners Sam and Samantha Clark as “a formidable presence in the kitchen”, works up his magic in front of you or sit down in the dining room lit by a huge circular chandelier. To match the no-fuss food they’ve gone for bare tables creating a rustic, well-worn look. Standout dishes, which are available in both small and large portions include spaghettini with lobster, mussels and ginger (£9/£18) and bone marrow, barolo and radicchio risotto (£8/£16). We had the tagliata of grilled rib beef with parmesan, rocket and rosemary (£16.50 each) which was sublime. If you are looking for a fun, unassuming sort of place with top-notch grub, not to mention one that is owned and run by a handsome and super-talented couple, then Bocca di Lupo is it.
