Cheval Phoenix House is near to Babbo Italian Restaurant in Mayfair In the centre of Mayfair is an Italian restaurant which offers a homely taste of Italy in impressively elegant surroundings. Meaning ‘Daddy’ in Italian, Babbo’s concept is to provide a family friendly, traditional restaurant with a warm welcome and the most authentic home-cooked Italian food.  Focaccia is more of a gastro-event than humble bread; porcini risotto is an achingly savoury concoction of aged rice & painstakingly layered stock; melting suckling pig is braised in olive oil; & Nonna’s lasagne is a crusty-topped, umami-loaded revelation.   The restaurant positively glows with warmth, encouraging the diner to relax and unwind from the first step through the door. Walls are painted yellow - the colour of a Tuscan sunset, chandeliers are hung low and a dark wood bar curves out from a corner of the room. Although it’s owned by a football lawyer (with Premiership clientele to matc...
