According to you, it’s spaghetti alla Bolognese as opposed to spag Bog, and Leicester Square is definitely a piazza.
So you’ll love Tini, a new Italian aperitivo bar opening tomorrow on Walton Street, courtesy of London’s favourite threesome: Nick House, Piers Adam and Guy Pelly (of Whisky Mist, Mahiki and The Punch Bowl fame). Inside the chic after-work spot, framed Pirelli calendars, black leather banquettes and copper-top tables recreate the glamour of 1950s Italy.
Sip on a Berrycello (Limoncello, vodka, lemon juice, fresh strawberries), a Shot-Tini (vodka, fresh peach, lemon juice, basil, prosecco) or a classic martini or Bellini. Platters heaving with Italian meats, cheeses, olives and fresh bread are also available.
In this pad, la vita is seriously dolce.
Tini, 87-89 Walton Street, SW3 2HP (020 7589 8558 or tinibar.com).
