La Bottega Milanese

"A proper Milanese espresso bar that takes its Italian identity seriously. The dark-roast shots are executed with real precision, on kit that most cafes in the city would envy."

What we love

• •La Marzocco and Mahlkönig on the bar, professional-grade setup run by people who know how to use it
• •Deliberate Italian dark roast style, short and intense rather than light and acidic
• •Pastries are a genuine draw, not an afterthought
