Assaggi means, trying in the plural, and that's just want you can do at this delicious restaurant. You'll need to book early to get a table at this well-known spot, whose authentic Italian fare is served simply but with style, and is considered by many to be the best in London. Starters include buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes atop thinly sliced fresh bread (called "carta di musica," or music paper) -unadorned but superb, which is the way Italian cooking should be, all about the ingredients. Fresh crab with olive oil and lettuce is also basic but delicious, as are pastas, including homemade noodles with a selection of fresh herbs and crushed walnut. TUBE: Notting Hill Gate
