Evening Standard | The best restaurants in London to take your parents to

“Sometimes something comes along that is both compelling and comforting enough to lure mum and I away from the Drapers Arms; that thing is Cin Cin, a modern, aperitivo-style Italian in Fitzrovia. In summer, the al fresco terrace is worth the ticket price alone. The prices of the pasta plates are eye-widening, but the portion sizes are waist-widening enough to put parents’ minds and wallets at ease, and their quality is second to none. Besides, there’s no need to have pasta. Stick to the more reasonably priced starters and snacks, like the crispy polenta with caponata, arancino with brown crab aioli and burrata, and save space and money for a signature negroni and a boozy raisin affogato.”
