Osteria Stecca
Being someone who finds it hard to resist a good, pedigree Italian, I'll be heading to the hood this weekend. No, I'm not roughing it in Peckham but doing some deluxe slumming in St John's Wood where Osteria Stecca has just opened.

I like Blenheim Terrace. Okay, it's a bit cashmere knickers, but it's one of those streets that makes you feel like you're on holiday; all twinkly lights, welcoming restaurant facades and casually parked cars. And Stecca ticks all the boxes too.

Chef-owner Stefano Stecca cooked in Michelin-starred restaurants across Italy before coming to work at Zafferano and Brunello over here so the food, as you'd expect, is a range of nicely turned out classics like buffalo mozzarella with grilled aubergine and aubergine caviar and linguini with a red mullet and cherry tomato sauce.

Or there's always Negronis and stuzzichini at the bar.

Either way, it's a bit more glam than Peckham - I should know, I grew up there.
