At once modern and old school, Lello remains a convivial and reliable CBD go-to for authentic Italian cooking.

Hand-made pasta is the star of the show, with the vincisgrassi lasagne layered with beef, offal and béchamel an intense but balanced delight. And don’t overlook the cacio e pepe, the pasta made with a burnt grain flour for a nutty depth of flavour. 

Service is prompt, friendly and familiar and wines are keenly priced, providing a happy haven of neighbourhood-style charm smack bang in the middle of the city.
