Bancone

A plate of folded pasta squares garnished with a soft-cooked egg yolk in the center, and sprinkled with a brown crumbly topping, is served on a white plate. The plate rests on a marble surface with a wine glass visible in the background.

Hop on a seat at one of the three dining bars at this Covent Garden spot, grab a plate of the ‘silk handkerchiefs’ and watch the chefs at work. Bacone in Italian means ‘counter’, which may be of limited use to you on your Italian travels, but you learn something new every day hey?  

There’s one thing Bancone do exceptionally well here and that is fresh, handmade pasta. Founded in 2018 with their flagship site in Covent Garden and now a new store in Soho, they focus on their handmade craft with flavours inspired by both Italy, London and much of Europe. Their wine list most certainly compliments the flavours of the dishes. If that’s not all their journal section on their website provides you with some fantastic recipes so if there’s a meal you really enjoyed you can re create it in the comfort of your own home.  

This is a small spot that fills up extremely fast so we highly recommend you book in advance.  

Reservations can be made here
