Machiavelli Kitchen & Dining Room

Editorial Review

Small plates served at wood-block communal tables. Sample dish: Orecchiette with tiger prawn, rocket, chilli and saffon. Thankfully un-kitschy Italian decór: Just a few wall tiles with the image of the famed political schemer, plus a library of Italian-themed coffeetable books that patrons can borrow. Five minutes' walk from Covent Garden's Apple Store heart, but far enough away that it remains a haunt of local business people—not tourists. A great value for lunch in the airy cafe, but a poor value for dinner in the downstairs dining room.
