Burro e Salvia

Pound for pound, Shoreditch pastificio Burro e Salvia might just have the best wine list of any Italian restaurant in town. Each day, in plain view, the sfoglie roll out, slice and mold London’s best pasta. You can buy it by the weight to take away, or do the right thing and grab a table at the back and take advantage of a one-page wine list that is impossible to not drink well from. There is proper vermouth, wild Lambrusco from Paltrinieri and a page crammed with wines from some of Italy’s most famous artisan producers, like La Stoppa, Foradori and more.  Impeccably sourced salumi and cheese lead the way to a tight list of classic pastas like agnolotti cavour and tajarin al ragu that rival any high end spot in town.
