Cecconi's Pizza Bar

Cecconi's Pizza Bar is the more relaxed sibling of the Cecconi's dining room, set in Soho and built around homemade pasta and pizzas from a wood-fired oven. Aperol Spritzes and Negronis come on tap, which sets the tone: Italian food and drink without any fuss.

Every day from 4pm to 7pm there is an aperitivo, with live music from a rotating line-up of DJs. The menu runs to Italian cocktails and cicchetti, including truffle arancini and calamari fritti, the sort of small plates made for sharing. It suits a quick drink as readily as a longer, unhurried meal.
