Lucky Spot earns its keep by effectively offering an authentic Italian godmother for hire, complete with home cooked food and eccentric banter. Individual wooden booths combine with the hostess’s effusive chat to ensure that you feel like you’re the sole patrons, whilst the rustic furnishings maintain the familial atmosphere. The menu is a short collection of Italian classics that should please most, and whilst Mayfair has never built its reputation on value for money, the Lucky Spot doesn’t do too badly at all. Ideal for catching up with friends or a laid back date.
