Obicà Mozzarella Bar

Authentic Italian Brunch Bliss in Soho

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Obicà in Soho, a delightful spot nestled amidst the bustling energy of London's Polish Street. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, subtly marrying that laid-back Italian elegance with London's lively spirit. The interior exudes typical eclectic Soho charm, with an inviting buzz that sets the scene for a memorable meal. The highlight? Their authentic culinary spread that heroes traditional Italian flavors, masterfully crafted from classic ingredients sourced directly from Italy.

The menu, brimming with intriguing options, is nothing short of a fresh Mediterranean breeze. While the mozzarella might have received mixed reception in some corners, my experience was genuinely delightful—I’m still thinking about their cacio e pepe, which was cooked to perfection. Whether it's the fresh pasta making your taste buds pirouette or the pizza that's whispered to be among the best in London, every bite transports you straight into the streets of Napoli. Friendly, attentive service ties up the experience with a bow, cementing Obicà not just as a trattoria, but a place where culinary passion meets impeccable hospitality. Sure, it has its occasional quirks like the experimental music choices that won't win everyone over, but it truly stands as a hidden gem in the heart of Soho, perfect for any lover of honest Italian fare. — Nigel Gourmet
