"Restaurants Italian Hoxton. Every morsel on the menu at this petite but modern pasta joint originates from northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region – and each pasta dish is typical of its home city.

"The fact that Tavolino’s terrace overlooks one of London’s quintessential landmarks - Tower Bridge - could make you think that this isn’t a restaurant that’ll make you feel like you’ve broken free of the city.

Serving handmade pasta and proper negronis, their huge, rattan-chaired terrace has something very dolce vita about it."
