Bar Italia

Bar Italia, a storied establishment open since 1949, stands as a beloved fixture in Soho, radiating the vibrant spirit of Italy through both its décor and culinary offerings. With its green and white striped awnings, this café exudes an old-school charm, featuring marble countertops and vintage details that evoke a sense of nostalgia. Renowned for their authentic Italian espresso—served via an elegant Gaggia machine—the café invites guests to savor traditional pastries like the Cannoli Siciliani and the decadent Torta della Nonna.
