What a lovely space! Brown cowhide runs along the length of the ceiling and down one wall, while low lighting and rich brown leather banquettes framed by mirrors and dirty-blond Tamarind wood counters complete the low-key deluxe look. Meanwhile, the pizza dough – made from rocket leaves, or coloured purple-black with squid ink, or threaded with chilli and tomatoes – emerge from the oven topped with everything from Gorgonzola and luscious green arugula to tiny forest mushrooms and white streaks of feta.
