On a corner of Burleigh Street that feels removed from the tourist-filled, cobblestoned streets of Covent Garden, Italian restaurant Vasiniko makes some of London’s best pizzas. They’re Neapolitan-style, with the doughiest, charred crusts that would convert even a no-crusts kind of person to get involved. Don’t get distracted by specials like the creamy truffle-based tartufina, because the rich, basil-infused tomato sauce means that you absolutely cannot leave without trying the straightforward margherita. Enjoy it in Vasiniko’s bright and airy, holiday-feel dining room which has grass hanging down from the ceiling, Amalfi-inspired lemon tiles behind the bar, and cosy booths for groups. Make sure you leave some space for the pistachio tiramisu—it’s a creamy, nutty dessert that’ll be on your mind the next time you’re in the area.
