Ciros Pizza Pomodoro - Bishopsgate

The secret of this international chain's success story is the regulars. They - and not the famous faces who adorn the walls - are the real stars of the show (especially when they lose their inhibitions on the dance floor!) Originally Turkish baths, the beautifully designed listed building is split into three distinctive areas.

La Grande Sala, the downstairs main restaurant, features ornate hand-painted columns and some scrumptious desserts. It's also a colourful live music venue where talented musicians every night. More relaxed is Ciro's Bar, a plush place of leather banquette seating, squishy cushions and a la carte menu where a big screen lets you watch the music performances from your seat. Then, when the sun's out, grab a cushioned chair on the inviting La Terrazza.
