FARE

Elegant Italian food in an equally elegant setting, FARE is a clean green haven away from the capital's sensory overload.

A welcome breath of fresh air, this neat little eatery exudes positivity and tranquility, thanks to its open-plan restaurant that basks in the natural light that pours in from the glass wall neighbouring the street. Their mini forest is thankful for the light too! Wherever you look, a splash of leafy green punctuates your view, affording the whole place a natural glow. And that's before we get to the epicentre: the bar. A glossy horseshoe in the corner, this is where the pizza oven, gleaming beer taps and friendly bartenders call home. Indeed, the humdrum from the bar is central to FARE's innate charm and character.

The menu is sophisticated and restrained. Offering a handful of pizzas that never compromise on quality, FARE plays with traditional recipes to create delicious vegan and vegetarian pizzas, from the La Vegana with a beetroot base and rainbow chard to the Ortolana with a pumpkin base and grilled aubergine. As well as that, pork sausage, authentic parma ham and winter truffle make star appearances on their other creations.

When the pizza oven isn't busy, fresh pasta brings all the delights. From pesto fettucini with a crumble of pine nuts, chicken liver and marsala ragu and plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano, there's a nourishing bowl for everyone. Stylish, innovative and delicious, FARE is the fairest of them all.
