Bar Italia (Soho)

• The most evocative Italian business in Britain with its stands of Vespas parked in front on Frith Street
• Bar Italia is an icon of coffee
• Painted and is currently the basis of a musical being written by Dave Stewart
• Much has been added and the decorations around the walls are a time capsule of life in London
• While small coffee shops went to the wall unable to compete with the big chains
• Decided quite firmly it's the ones with character and quality
• I would be interested to see what Bar Italia (Soho) is like during the day
• Awesome place especially at 3 am when you are done partying and the espresso along with the tiramisu ends the night on a good nite bang in the middle of Soho
• I felt like I was back in Naples being surrounded by a selection of historical memorabilia on the walls
• The neon is iconic and the coffee is definitely Italian (frothy cappuccinos
• It'll be full of Italians all shouting and flirting with one another
• Went there extra early to get some carbs beforehand and was amazed with all the Italian memorabilia all over
• One of the best carbonara I ever in had in London was here
• The service was understandably a bit rushed since they were busy moving tables and clearing up areas for people to watch the game inside
• The whole street was packed and the win just meant the party got started right after
• Watch the world go by with company or alone
• Cappuccinos are frothy and taste far better than well known
• A lovely morning starts with a coffee at Bar Italia in London
• They were first opened in 1949 and since then they promise to serve the best quality coffee
• All espresso based coffee is really delicious
• All the staff are Italian and all the food they serve is traditional Italian
• The coffee and cakes are expensive but totally worth it
• Look at the photo above and you might think this was taken back in the 1950s
• I was meeting my friend Elsa to see a film early evening in Soho so I decided the most fun place to stop for a sandwich and coffee on the way was Bar Italia in Frith Street
• Enticing pastries and an entertaining chat with lovely Italians
