It’s the shape that strikes you first, a series of tall alcoves in the basement of historic Leadenhall Market in the City of London. Yet it’s anything but dark. Smooth white walls, matching table linen and spotlighting create a bright, private space well-suited to confidential high-powered lunches. The menu’s Italian, a skillful combination of simple modern Italian and traditional regional recipes, to be precise. Specials change every few days, but the pasta is always homemade. Excellent fish dishes. Diverse wine list, in both price and character. Professional service.

    Great food - ‘large plate’ risotto not really that large but v tasty; chicken main was excellent as was the Greek salad side. Nice place but just-after-work happy arrivals were a wall of noise and we just needed a quick quiet meal before train. So we passed on starter and dessert. Staff were delightful. Definitely worth returning when time and circumstances on our side.

    Very impressed with this place. Under new management and the food has definitely ‘leveled up’. Have been here before - but the change is noticeable. Service is top notch. Music playing in the background was a little off-putting for an Italian restaurant. Will definitely be back.

    We really loved our evening at Penny Squares! The staff were so attentive and friendly and the food was deliciously authentic. We had the duck pappardelle which blew us away with its exquisite and delicate flavours. The ambience made us feel relaxed and the decor was really pretty. We definitely will be back soon!
