The contemporary Italian branch of David Chang’s Momofuku empire has reopened, with an upgraded interior and more focused menu.

Chef Joshua Pinsky has reimagined this previously Korean-Italian hybrid to offer a menu of pure Italian cuisine.While some firm favourites have remained - including the popular Bucatini Ceci e Pepe - there are new additions and an expanded pasta menu - including a pasta tasting menu - and dishes such as the Lumache all’Amatriciana with Sam Bar’s country ham and bianca sardo, and the Chitarra with Calabrian chili, house smoked olive oil, garlic and breadcrumbs. The interior too has been thoughtfully renovated, with pale wood and leather chairs and banquettes.
