Eating a really good meal in the company of close friends with plenty of fine wine has to be one of life's indispensable pleasures. Il piacere di mangiare - the pleasure of eating sums up the philosophy behind the Getti restaurant group. I sensed a huge pride in the staff who obviously shared the passions of their management, a feeling akin to family. Getti, pronounced jetty, is where you should go next time you're in the mood for some serious Italian cooking. There are several factors which make their restaurants stand out from the crowd. Firstly the quality of the menu: their chefs are actively encouraged to take advantage of Italy's huge regional culinary heritage and to recreate the tastes of their childhood roots. Secondly the wine list, which includes a broad geographical spread of wines available in Italy whilst designed to be reasonably short and approachable. Amazingly, the entire list is available by the glass from freshly opened bottles, a huge plus in my opinion.

Things are looking up for one Marylebone Italian as the Academia Italiana della Cucina has come knocking.

“A surprisingly low-profile Italian has just won plaudits from the prestigious Accademia Italiana della Cucina, putting it in the company of luminaries such as Zafferano and Locanda Locatelli. Their honorary plate has been awarded to Getti in Marylebone; since the Accademia was founded to help preserve Italian culinary traditions, it's quite an accolade. The restaurant has plans to launch a Sardinian menu in the near future; in the meantime, the regular menu continues - classic, crowd-pleasing Italian dishes at reasonable prices.”
