We had a 45 minute wait for a table for dinner, so we decided to find a place to grab a drink and escape the cold. This place was really cute and the service was great - everyone was friendly. We sat downstairs, but there is also seating upstairs as well. I'm not sure if this is true, but I did overhear that there are no restrooms here, which is a downside. I'm sure I would've needed a restroom had I had more than 1 drink!
Their wine cocktails are pretty good. I think there are food options as well (snacks). I would definitely come back to hang out and relax with a glass of wine. -

For a sneaky evening date, this cute little corner of Covent Garden is nice and tucked away, but of course every time I go my cover is blown. I've bumped into someone I know who's in Seven Dials every time; a secret no more, it seems the place to be if you're serious about independent shops and boutiques. Now Casanova and Daughter are just that, seriously good and are they're in no way, clowning around when it comes to their Sicilian, seriously delicious deli delights.
There's just one wine, red or white, it's fantastic and as it's chosen for you, in Sicily. It means I don't look so silly being indecisive at the table with the wine list and attentive servers ensure it flows even if the conversation with your date isn't.
The olives are fresh and beautifully briny, enough to chew on when talk gets salty and you need to bite your tongue.
By gum, this place is perfect; for pares-work perk or pre show. You've just got to go.
They don't quite do a full dinner on the ground floor. (Upstairs is a private dining room.) However all the small plates are precisely the most tantalisingly tasty morsels if you want bold and beautiful food.
I went Maverick and slightly off menu, seeing all of the fascinating jars and packets and bottles around; I wanted to try it all and the deeply passionate proprietors were delightfully helpful to educate me on likes of; what does a girl do with beautifully sophisticated bottle of Caper Juice? (It whips into olive oil to make the most exquisite dressing over sweet tart slightly chewy sun dried tomatoes of course.) They enlightened me on what Luminary is.. (It's a citrussy, earthy sort of lemon brine, that again makes gorgeous dressing, or marinates fish or lamb...) I was illuminated.
Surrounded by tapenade and truffles, the show stealer for me however was the Tuna Bresaola! Drizzled in truffled oil and sprinkled with white Fennel Seeds. It is out of this world and I implore you to try it. Then slosh down more of that juicy astounding Sicilian white wine.
I think it's even the perfect place to go alone and I will and wont have to share anything, but the sweet pecorino, dressed in dry lemon basil and drizzled honey heavenly and will have you talking, if not fighting for the last bite. -

Stopped in for a small bite and a quick glass of wine pre show. As close to perfection for a 1.5 hour interlude as one could hope to find in the Seven Dials. We had the Pecorino with olive oil and lavender honey and the sharper olives as well as both the house white and red. Presentation was beautifully simple but very tasteful. The wines were excellent - neither to dry nor too fruity for an early evening tipple. And the setting was quaint and relatively quiet amidst the bustle of the Seven Dials on a Saturday evening. Perfect setting with light fair to carry us through a show. Highly recommend.
