Getti, London

This Italian eatery is modern yet not cold, warm but not over-friendly. With cherry wood tables and chairs, frosted glass, soft lighting, open space and immaculately neat staff, the dining room looks like a showroom but at least the food is not the generic contemporary fare that you might expect. With such a choice of restaurants in the area, Marylebone residents are used to creative food and this place is popular. The traditional antipasti dishes are a good way to start your meal and then progress on to the plates of pasta or one of the day's specials - the swordfish pleases many. The wine list runs the gamut from inexpensive house wines to more researched choices.
