If you thought 2019 was the year of pasta, then get ready for a new wave in 2020. From Padella's second outpost to Lina Stores' first site outside of W1, London's all about the carbs. Taking over the Golden Square space that previously housed Foxlow, Bancone Soho has expanded with space for 90 diners, private dining areas and a basement cocktail bar.

The menu draws inspirations from all over Italy, with pasta made fresh by hand each day. Expect traditional dishes, changing specials and signature plates like the silk handkerchiefs layered with walnut butter and finished with confit egg yolk. Open daily, there will be several dining bars with space to watch the chefs at work in the open kitchens. As for drinks, there's an extensive wine list and cocktails like the Amaresso Martini.
