With a reputation as one of London's finest chefs, Theo Randall certainly knows his food. He's a big fan of Italian cuisine, especially those dishes that feature seasonal and simple rustic fare - the kind of dishes, in fact, that have made his eponymous restaurant at the Intercontinental Hotel such a huge hit.
Theo has very kindly put together a selection of his favourite restaurants in London for you to peruse, and believe us when we say that if he's a fan, you will soon be too. Buon appetito!
