Italian$$

Marco Finanzio (Umberto Espresso Bar)’s pasta and wine bar,Sandro boasts a casual a la carte offering with a few crowd favourites – like charry mortadella skewers – and three rotating pastas. But it’s not strictly Italian:smoked baba ghanoush comes with crudites and crisp flatbread,and there’s a sumac-spiced pavlova with strawberries and creme fraiche.

The neighbourhood bar is as much a place to flit in for a quick Campari soda and a snack as it is to settle in for a few hours,perhaps with bottle of Alberto Oggero’s appropriately named Sandro nebbiolo,from Piedmont.
