Italo

Bonnington Square is one of London's more distinctive settings — a Vauxhall pocket where many of the idealists who squatted the neighbourhood in the late 1970s and 80s still live — and this Italian deli sits right at its heart. The counter is a serious affair: San Daniele ham sliced paper-thin, Parmesan cut from the wheel, handmade Gorgonzola, Comté and Taleggio, backed by a kitchen serving weekday lunches and weekend brunch. Add regular supperclubs, private hires, step-free entry and moderate prices, and a 4.5 rating from 625 reviews suggests it's doing plenty right.
