Osteria Basilico

Don Vito Corleone's London pre-movie hangout. Cosy or cramped depending on your definition of comfort. Offers up fine scope of regional Italian dishes ranging from ubiquitous generous antipasti buffet to veal ravioli in rosemary sauce or wood oven fired pizzas. Wines fairly priced and easy on the palate, try the Barolo. Oversubscribed, don't even think of pitching up if you have not booked a table. Friendly staff nearly make up for maelstrom of noise and human body heat.
