Opened in 1987 by Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray, The River Café began as a humble staff canteen and has since evolved into a London institution renowned for its ingredient-driven Italian cuisine. Everything on the seasonal menu is cooked to perfection in the iconic pink oven, set against a lively dining room filled with devoted regulars and the occasional celebrity. A must-visit for those seeking unmatched handmade pasta and expertly prepared Italian dishes with a British twist.
