Come for the pick-and-mix menu of 20 Negronis, stay for the exclusively Italian wines, house-made focaccia and Negroni-flavoured tiramisu at this family-run neighbourhood bar.
A Piña Colada. Psych! A Negroni, of course. One of the 20 – that’s right, 20 – on offer. The second most popular after the classic is the Mexican, made with Ilegal Mezcal Joven, Carpano Bianco vermouth and Cocchi Americano, an aromatic aperitivo wine. It’s definitely one that will have you gripping the sides of the table – it pays to line your stomach. Another crowd favourite is, of course, the TikTok darling Sbagliato, which adds a splash of prosecco to zing up the original.
Hot tip: unless you have the constitution of a hundred Anthony Bourdains in his prime, very few people can handle more than one or two Negronis in a sitting, so once you’ve dabbled, move on to the wine list, which is all fabulously Italian. The Bortolin Prosecco Valdobbiadene, for instance, is a crisp little sparkle-fest, while the Fontanessa Ca Adua Gavi is everything you want in a complex white.
