Centonove

Round the corner from the areas most famous hang out, The Westbourne, Centonove packs in a similarly youngish in-crowd. This gives the small, unfussy space a great atmosphere, especially as the evening draws in, lights are dimmed and music turned up. A genuine, gorgeously fresh country-style Italian menu offers few surprises, and is all the better for it. Alongside irresistible oven-baked pizza are simple homemade dishes such as linguine with lobster cooked in white wine, olive oil, garlic, parsley, chilli, and salt-crusted, oven-baked seabass served with vegetables of the day. Waiting staff are affable, upbeat and attentive.
