The most stylish of the affordable Italian chain, Ristorante Biagio occupies two floors of prime central London space on Piccadilly. (Strictly speaking, it occupies four; the ground floor and basement are home to Pascucci, a traditional licensed Italian café). Centrepiece of the small top floor is a glass atrium which makes for a rather romantic nighttime setting, while Philip Starck chairs are just one of the contemporary design features of the first floor (main) dining room. Best selling dishes are the pastas and seafood, especially the salmon, cod, monkfish and King Prawn platter. Well known faces from the nearby National Film Institute occasionally appear here. Nice staff.
Average Price per person: £35 and under
