Located in the heart of Pimlico, Uno offers modern Italian cuisine served in a Med-style environment. It's a great bet for pre- and post-theatre dining -- with special set menus -- as well as offering a full a la carte selection for lunch and dinner, seven days a week. Service is friendly and personal here, neighbourhood style, and the owners have ambitious plans to make this one of the top 20 Italians in London.Nearest Tube | Pimlico

Dedicated to the pleasures of seafood, Zilli Fish is the original Soho restaurant of acclaimed piscatorial chef Aldo Zilli. Signature dishes, such as teriyaki black cod and spaghetti lobster, display a playful and mouthwatering approach to the cooking, which uses fish freshly arrived each morning from Billingsgate market. Equally simple in design, the chic interior makes this a relaxed destination for social and business outings.Nearest Tube | Piccadilly Circus
