I loved everything about my experience at The Nomad. Yes it’s expensive but it was worth it to have great service (attentive but not fussy) incredible cocktails, excellent wine, and food which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. And the dining room - just wow. Beautiful and such a lovely ambience. I think this is my new favourite place in London.

One of many restaurants, several of which are Italian, on this street. We both had pizzas, which were large and tasty, washed down with a bottle of the house wine. My wife had a tiramisu which she said was very good and I just had a coffee. At the end we were offered glasses of limoncello which was a nice touch. The service was friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit.
