Bocca Di Lupo - London Soho Italian Restaurant πβ¨
π° Average Cost per Person: Β£70 Bocca Di Lupo is a classic Italian restaurant in London's Soho, super popular on Instagram, and has accumulated a large following over more than a decade. If you don't make a reservation, it's almost impossible to get a table even on weekdays. However, it's still a hidden gem on Little Red, not yet widely known. Bocca offers a cozy atmosphere and authentic cuisine that Italian food lovers must not miss. They recently updated their menu, adding high-end ingredients like bluefin tuna, which, although pricey, is worth trying. Plus, there's a gelato shop across from the restaurant, also owned by them, where you can enjoy dessert. π½οΈ Taste: ββββ Every dish is meticulously prepared, rich in flavor, simple yet full of character. Even the pre-meal bread is freshly baked by the chef every day. π½οΈ Recommended Dishes: Honey-marinated pork chop β The honey-marinated pork chop is juicy and tender, filled with the aroma of lemon and rosemary, and generously portioned, perfect for sharing between two. π British bluefin tuna tartare β The bluefin tuna tartare is refreshing and comes with capers, pine nuts, and Sardinian crisps. It's reasonably priced for bluefin tuna. π Borlotti beans β This side dish made with beans, tomatoes, chili peppers, and sage reminds me of the canned tomato beans I had as a child, but of course, this is the gourmet version! Opinions on the taste may vary, but it pairs well with the pork chop. πΆοΈ Sage leaf filled with anchovy β The crispy sage leaves are an appetizer we order every time we visit, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, never disappointing. πΏ Porcini risotto β The cheese flavor is very rich! If you're a cheese lover, you'll love this dish. If you're a moderate cheese lover or not a fan, you might want to skip it. π§ π Atmosphere: ββββ The restaurant is not large, but its cozy atmosphere adds to its unique charm. π©βπ³ Service: ββββ The waitstaff is friendly and professional. On our second visit, they recognized us, which was very thoughtful and made us feel at home. #BoccaDiLupo #ItalianCuisine #LondonRestaurants #SohoEats #LondonEats #ItalianFood #HiddenGem #RestaurantRecommendation
