Made in Italy (Bar, Restaurant)

Top 10 things you need to know about Made in Italy: 

1) Move over Made in Chelsea, we have a new kid on the block in the form of Made in Italy, on the King's Road. Unlike the part-fiction-part-car-crash TV show, this Italian restaurant is all about quality and authenticity rather than showmanship.

2) As soon as you step inside this restaurant in Chelsea, the rustic Tuscan charm immediately transports you to the warmth of Italian hospitality with an earthy array of brickworks and cosy wooden panels.

3) Seating is incredibly tight, so be prepared: your life story might be public knowledge by the end of the night, much like a reality TV star.

4) The seating to avoid if you’re not a fan of wintry draughts is next to the entrance door. A revolving cast of Deliveroo drivers keep the impoverished Chelsea set fed. Pizzas literally fly off their shelves, such is the popularity of their creations.

5) The trendy vegetarians of King's Road are well-catered for with a wide array of menu options to choose from. Although, the clientele does appear to be more of the lost tourist looking for home comforts variety, rather than London foodie with keen research skills.

6) Italian menu options are all classical, using the freshest of ingredients. Burrata comes with many sides, such as grilled vegetables or pesto and toasted bread. The creaminess of their burrata is probably indicative of the high quantities they sell: fresh deliveries are made daily to the restaurant.

7) Truffle fans will make a beeline for their heavily flavoured truffle ricotta crostini. Those seeking the ultimate, cheesy, warming dish will be ordering their aubergines Parmigiana.

8) Reality fans will appreciate that the simplest things in life are the best. Their burratini is one to consider: practically a margherita with added stracciatella di burrata. This more loose and creamy take on mozzarella is the real star of the show at Made in Italy.

9) Pasta fans won't feel left out either, although cheese is still the name of the game thanks to popular dishes such as ravioli, ricotta cheese and spinach in a butter and sage sauce.

10) Over-ordering isn't an issue at Made in Italy either; an army of takeaway boxes ready to be filled with tomorrow’s mid-morning snack....read more
