Don't be fooled - three
ruined Soho caffs ... and a decent effort
Valtaro in Kingly St - the most consistently
sour service in London, some brown booths and a lingering ambience
of lives solidified into defeat; San Marco - too much
chrome but proper Italian atmosphere, cripplingly expensive;
once useful Canaletto - horribly remodelled with worryingly
frequent sitings of Chris Evans, avoid at all costs; Chinto's
- retains two decent booths and an odd raised section but a refit
job has stripped out all the glorious original fittings. Of this
clutch, only the Valtaro merits a visit but beware, the combination
of the proprietor's sustained ill-temper and the often unpleasant
sandwiches will test your moribundian mettle to the full. |
