Bar Italia

Bar Italia Review

This legendary 1949 landmark stand-up-or-sit-down Italian coffee bar is a 24-hour Soho institution. Football crazy, and a honey-pot for a weird and wonderful assortment of roues and Soho-ites, most regulars grab a frothy cappuccino, espresso, or sobering macchiato and wolf down a cheap slice of pizza, panettone, or rich chocolate cake at one of the mirrored counters (or at pavement seats out da front). The walls are plastered with Italian flags and fading old pictures of lusty Italian singers, boxing champs, and movie legends, and it's the primo numero uno spot in London to watch Italy play in—or get dumped out of—the football World Cup.
