It’s worth coming to Buon Ricordo in Paddington for the signature dish alone. The fettuccine with truffle-infused egg is, quite simply, astounding, so it’s no wonder this place has been around nearly 25 successful years. Staff are very personable and the ambience is one of traditional, homely, Italian reliability. Book ahead.

Lunch:  Friday and Saturday – 12noon till 3pm
