"Café Di Stasio is an Italian fine-dining institution and after more than 30 years at its Fitzroy Street location, this renowned restaurant and bar still holds decadent and timeless appeal. Here, long-serving white-jacketed waiters will offer that extra touch of service, whilst recalling an extensive list of house specialties like linguine with prawns, or home-made pasta with tomato, mozzarella and basil. As such, the restaurant has a faithful clientele and those in the know will swear by the seasonal two-course lunch with wine."
