The place that once housed Antico closed down in the last few months of 2017 and reopened with a rebrand and so much more in October 2017. Nick Crsipini, the owner, who worked under Theo Randall at the InterContinental on Park Lane, and chef Adam Czmiel, serve honest pasta and fine Italian wines on a budget – you’ll love this!
