Il Pomodorino

The first British outlet of a chain that has been successful in Rome, Il Pomodorino is a well-designed hunk of a modern restaurant just off Piccadilly Circus on Lower Regent Street. Inside is even more impressive - soft tan and beige leather seating, pale polished wood chairs and surfaces, soft lighting. Very chic. If you're not that hungry when you arrive, you will be when the scent of Italian cooking reaches your nostrils. It might be the aroma a pizza capricciosa baking, handmade pasta cooking before being transformed into tagliatelle con gamberi ed asparagi, or a Tuscan steak preparing for its star role in filetto di manzo cremolato al mais dolce. Listing 450 labels, the wine list is genuinely extensive.
