This prestigious establishment is well known for its cozy atmosphere and popularity with the social set. Somewhat incongruous given its Chapel Street setting, the wood paneled walls and intimate size give Café e Cucina a warm, old fashioned and very traditional feeling. Alternatively, you can sit at an outside table and watch the cool and beautiful going by on their shopping expeditions. The menu, on a large blackboard, is constantly evolving but consists of simple, well-cooked, traditional Italian fare, with an excellent wine list to complement. Parking is available for those with bookings.
