Toto's (South Kensington)

• This Knightsbridge restaurant is located in what was once an artist&rsquo
• Is actually a revival of a place of the same name that was running in the 1980s right up until folding in 2012
• There is also a terrace with seating outside
• The head chef is Stefano Stecca
• Example wines were Ronco dei Tassi Vigna Lauro Pinot Grigio 2012 at £
• The two different bread servings that we had were rather erratic
• Cold tomato soup with Devon crab had lots of flavour from its tomatoes
• Seared tuna was served with jam made from Tropea red onions from Calabria and aged balsamic vinegar
• Papardelle with duck ragu and Pecorino cheese had tender pasta
• Wild sea bass was grilled and served with parsley sauce and spinach rather than the advertised Swiss chard
• The fish had good flavour and was accurately cooked (14/20)
• Even better were a pair of huge gamberoni prawns
• Beautifully cooked and served with a slightly spicy tomato sauce (15/20)
• The front of house team was headed up by a former Le Gavroche manager
• 112 a head with a bottle of good wine between us
• Course this is hardly cheap
• The ingredients are of good quality and the staff plentiful and carefully martialled
• Talian food is a favourite of mine
• Or does anyone else find they spend the first two months of the year catching up with people you didn't see over the family focused month of December
• The restaurant is light and modern
• I completely melted when he told me about how they actually do hold each others tails with their trunks
• While Ben had Burrata with sundried and fresh tomatoes
• Toto's (South Kensington) is one of the best Italian dishes that I have experienced in London
• Service is very good and the decor is basic but elegant
