Out of Town: Osteria Vibrato, London

Written by
Catherine and Gavin Hanly of hot-dinners.com

London has seen a brace of new Italian openings recently (including the excellent Tiella) and this latest comes from Charlie Mellor, the man behind The Laughing Heart. Like his former Hackney restaurant, this Soho venture has a big focus on its wine list (Charlie’s teamed up with former Luca sommelier Cameron Dewar). The place has quickly become a proper scene, partly helped by the piano in the middle of the restaurant that has seen musicians from nearby Ronnie Scott’s on it, as well as their own extremely talented pianist/waiter

The menu has been created by an ex-Burro e Salvia chef (another much-missed Italian), and it takes a classic approach, with the tagliatelle with white courtyard ragu a must-have. Pricing may be punchy, but there’s real talent in the kitchen. It’s also a place to linger, mainly because you’ll want to have the baked-to-order amaretti biscuits, delivered hot to your table.

What is OctoberBest?

OctoberBest is an annual restaurant festival which is directly linked to the Brighton’s Best Restaurants Dome Award winners of that same year.

During one designated fortnight in October, each restaurant offers diners a special menu which best showcases their food. It’s a great opportunity for restaurants to attract new customers, and for diners to try somewhere new at a discounted price.

Why Are Food Reviews Important?

Food reviews are essential as they provide insights into dining experiences. They help consumers choose restaurants that meet their expectations and can influence a restaurant's reputation. Positive reviews can attract more customers, while negative ones can prompt improvements in service and quality.
