This classic Italian restaurant is very popular with the local Chelsea residents, and was frequented by the late Princess Diana - the owners have hung a tribute photo over her favourite table. The large, bustling trattoria is neither rustic nor slick - the decor is white and the tables are simply decorated with starched tablecloths. The excellent, authentic, mostly Northern Italian menu eschews fads. Bear in mind that this may be a local, but it's a Chelsea local, so prices are steep, although the food is worth it. Try any of the risottos (never gluey or too al dente), the wild boar, or the selection of pastas, and finish off with a traditional pudding from the dessert trolley.
