Yet, if you’ve been lucky enough to actually dine in Italy, you'll know that the country’s flavours are exactly that, complex and comforting on a whole other level.

We found out why Enoteca Rosso is an easy way to make a trip to Italy for fresh, homemade pasta without having to leave the city limits; in fact, you’ll only have to travel to Kensington High Street.

My friend and I went for a collaborative eating experience, opting for sharing size plates of pasta as mains, with a taglieri board of meats and cheeses to start.

As our tagliteri approached the table, our server guided us through the board, instructing us on which cheeses and meats would make the best pairings, and which to prioritise in order to get the best flavour.

The slow-cooked boar had a deep flavour which clung onto the al dente pasta, adding a depth to the dish that made it feel like home away from home, even though Italy isn't mine.

Enoteca Rosso brings obscure Italian cuisine to High Street ...

Review analysis
drinks   food  

Summing it all up: Enoteca Rosso is trying to do things a little differently from your average Italian restaurant by focusing on accessible vintage wines, attempting a ravioli inspired by a full English, promising obscure charcuterie and offering everything in a size of your preference.

Regional Italian cuisine is headed to High Street Kensington with a wine list heaving with rare bottles and the option to have everything on the menu in three sizes.

All of the above will be available in small, medium or large size for those who want to taste a bit of everything or just gorge themselves on a giant bowl of spaghetti.

The restaurant will be open for brunch too, providing some Italian riffs on typical English brunch fare, which we admit do sound just a little weird but fun, like fig carbonara or ravioli with a full English-style stuffing - egg yolk, pancetta, confit tomatoes and mushrooms.

On the wine front, there’ll be a high proportion of rare, small batch bottles on offer (so many that the restaurant plans to line the walls with them), priced from £25 up and 30 available by the glass.

Enoteca Rosso review: an all-Italian great to warm up W8 | London ...

drinks   ambience   food  

The new handles to the mighty original doors of the bank are in the form of two big red goblet wine glasses, startlingly naff.

The immense all-Italian wine list rightly begins with reds — and it’s an absolute treat, carefully researched from regions all over the country, with enticing bottles at all prices, from £25 or so, with dozens to explore for £30 or £40, before the heights are reached.

However, although all very accurately named, there are no helpful descriptions on the peculiarly shaped carte, so unless you really know your way around the extraordinary maze of growers and grape varieties (unleashed since the introduction in 1992 of the IGT certification — indicazione geografica tipica — loosened up the rigid rules of denominazione di origine controllata) you’ll be at a loss, unless you’ve nerdily taken a wine atlas along.

All the wines we tried by the 125ml glass were excellent, however, starting with the cheapest, Rosso IGT Umbria “Le Lucrezie” 2016, Tudernum, an enjoyable Sangiovese blend from Todi at £5.50.

If the wine list covers the country, the food from head chef Flavio Militello, who has worked at Michelin-starred Felix Lo Basso in Milan, is distinctively north Italian, tending to the rich and the unctuous.

Love your lardo?

The cured pork fat was the star of one of the signature charcuterie boards at this snazzy Kensington Italian, which is replete with high ceilings, big windows and comfy seating around generous tables.

Fresh pasta is also a big deal here.

Slices of rare duck breast, fanned out in a rich berry sauce and served with a velvety potato gratin were also excellent, though double the price of the pasta.

Don’t save too much room though: this is a place to fill up on pasta and lardo.
