La Porchetta 

La Porchetta Pollo Bar has been serving Soho for 15 years, and you can spot it by the stripy awning out front. The portions are generous, the prices reasonable, and the cooking sticks to traditional Italian fare. Pizzas, pastas and risottos make up the bulk of the menu, all done in an unfussy, cosy setting.

There is more here than the Italian classics. The kitchen also offers vegetarian and vegan options, so most dietary needs are covered. The atmosphere is lively and the staff are friendly, which is part of why locals and visitors keep coming back for an honest Italian meal.
