Cipriani

Student noteAn Italian old-money restaurant in Mayfair with polished decor and atmosphere to match. The pasta is the standout — the Lobster Spaghetti and Rigatoni are both precisely seasoned, but portions are huge: four courses plus two desserts left two people with hearty appetites stuffed and taking leftovers home. Good if you want a taste of the wealthy West End crowd's everyday scene.
