Locals in London’s Farringdon are spoilt for choice when it comes to first class restaurants, but few are as popular as Santore restaurant in Exmouth Market. This comfortably rustic Italian restaurant with its dark wood furniture and cosy banquette seating, is packed with hungry City slickers at lunchtimes. After work, Santore attracts a laid-back foodie crowd. Authentic touches like tiled floors and wooden shelves with bottles of Italian olive oils and wines will make you feel like you’re really in Italy. On the menu you’ll find hearty Italian fare like veal Milanese, deep-fried calamari and a range of tasty pasta dishes. If it’s proper pizza you’re craving, then you’re in luck, because Santore’s wood-fired oven churns out some of the best pizza anywhere, including the pizza al metro sold by the metre, or delicious rotolo rustico, a rolled pizza filled with mozzarella, ricotta, smoked cheese and sautéed aubergines.
