This is one of my favourite restaurants. Fabulous food and atmosphere. Love having an excuse to pick at all the dishes on the table (without having to steal from someone’s main course – although I’ll do it if I have to…). You’ve captured it well.

Hi Kang,
On the strength of your excellent review I got myself a table at Bocca di Lupo recently. It did not disappoint! A review here if you’re interested:

I really loved Bocca di Lupo as well. I think it is exciting food which does not happen as often as you would hope in London.

I think I might go back to try some of the smaller dishes. Athough my pork chop was delicious, it was completely raw around the bone and I showed it to the waiter afterwards, who in turn showed it to the chef. I do appreciate though that it’s hard to cook a pork chop, especially one so thick, so that it’s not overcooked. We did receive a little sweet pastry each as a result…

Ollie, oh dear, that doesn’t sound good at all, did you send it back to the kitchen? Hm, maybe I should go back to try out the risotto too – I really only had the seafood ones. Yeah, legions of fans, but not for long though if they continue to slip up in quality like that.

Hillary, thanks so much! didn’t realise people would notice the change!!

The Duo Dishes, thanks so much!! Yes that’s the idea, good eating all the time

canelvr, seems like you and Ollie are in agreement about some of the dishes not being quite good quality, hmm, I’m make sure I pop back to Bocca to try the northern dishes. Will check out your review soon!

Interesting that you ate mostly southern food! That's what I'd like to do when I go back there because I found that the northern dishes weren't pulled off that well. (My photos are embarrassing next to yours but you can read about my visit here.)

The site looks great! You do some really good eating. That swordfish looks the best though. Two big chomps.

I don’t know, Kang. I think the place is overrated, and Giles Coren went completely OTT. It’s mostly good, with occasional flashes of brilliance, but the thread on eGullet is full of stories about basic technical errors. I saw some of that myself – wine not cooked off in the risotto, for example. Still, it has legions of fans.
