I visited Bocconcino with my 15 yrs old son. We had carpaccio and melanzane parmigiana as starters, and ravioli with seabass and a plain ham and cheese pizza as mains. My son had the tiramisu for desert. I used to live in Italy and know Italian food. Bocconcino really brings out the flavors in every little piece of the dishes. I rarely order pasta as I get easily full, but I’m happy I did this time. Wonderful flavors. The carpaccio came with little dressing which was acidic and a great asset to the dish, I could munch them for lunch. The tiramisu jiggled like a master chef one. Absolutely well worth a visit.

Thanks for a spectacular and delicious Christmas lunch with a dear friend. We started with rich, earthy arancini and bruschetta with a tangy and delicate mixed green salad. Then we shared a 3-cheese pizza ‘di giorno’ with beautifully roasted vegetables and tiny, juicy black olives. Our final dish was a creamy, perfectly al dente wild mushroom risotto with dollops of aged tallegio melting into it. Everything was beautifully presented, extremely flavorful and subtle, and a really delightful experience. Keep offering this quality and O Ver will be my favourite Italian restaurant in London. I’ll be back.
