A true gem on Kensington High Street, our recent trip to London would not have been nearly so impressive had we not dined at Il Portico. It claims to be London's oldest family-run restaurant, however the history and/or PR-ability of it paled in comparison to the food itself. Simple dishes with minimal flavor corrections: light-as-air gnocchi with gorgonzola cheese. Spaghettini alle vongole with al dente spaghetti, tender clams and an olive oil, chile oil and white wine sauce. Minstrone with cabbage and real chicken stock. Nothing overpowering, nothing out of place. It was divine Italian.
