Enoteca da Luca — Restaurant in London

Small wine bar near st pauls. Lovely atmosphere for a catch-up with friends or colleagues. Only slight issue was the background music was a little too loud so it was a bit hard to hear each other though nothing major.

Ordered 2 of the specials, the beeg cheek and the ... bird (forgot the name). Both were really nice! the bird dish came with a polenta mash which was really nice, a lot nicer than expected. The beef cheek was a bit drier than I liked so it's not a dish I'd order again but if you enjoy your meat lean, then this would be nice as its very tender and you can really taste the beef in it.

Ordered a cranberry juice and the amount I received was really less.. for the price you pay, you'd normally expect at least 250ml but I think I only got around 100-150ml and half...

Our recent dining experience was a culinary masterpiece from start to finish. A glass of Primitivo paired with Bruschetta rustica, Delizie di burrata, and Crispy polenta with creamy mushrooms & thyme set the stage for a remarkable evening.

1. excellent staff 5/5
2. good location 4/5
3. good drinks 4/5 (spritz, wine, spirits)
4. good pasta 4/5 (pesto and nduja)
5. value for money 3/5

So among starters cod was lacking salt whereas prosciutto crocchette were too salty.

Cheeseboard nothing really special, what I found a bit counterintuitive/unacceptable is that bread should be paid separately. Boards are coming with bread and pickles nearly everywhere in the world.

Would I go there again? Probably yes, but I will focus just on mains and drinks skipping all the remaining part of the menu. Maybe I can notch up by 1...
