Square Meal review of L'Anima:
This City newcomer is from Francesco Mazzei, the chef who launched St Alban. Visitors to St Alban during his reign will recognise some of its highlights: from the divine, plump olives that grace the smartly laid table as soon as you sit down, to a top-notch main course of beef tagliata, though its presentation has been updated here – seared slices of tender, tasty meat draped over a piece of bone filled with mashed potato & bone marrow. Starters are no less impressive, a mound of freshly picked white crab meat flecked with dill was sitting pretty alongside a mound of mashed avocado – while a dessert of light rhubarb tart further highlighted the kitchen’s deft touch. The food is great (and fairly priced for these parts), but it doesn’t end there: it’s a seriously handsome space, flooded with natural light & combining slick white leather seating & stylish lighting with natural materials (lots of glass & solid limestone walls). L’Anima means ‘soul’ in Italian & though sadly it was quiet on our visit, when word catches on, we have no doubt it’ll achieve the buzzing atmosphere it deserves.
