She already has Indian (Bombay Bustle and Jamavar), Chinese (MiMi Mei Fair), Japanese (KOYN), Thai (KOYN Thai) and French (Socca) restaurants to her name, and now for her next act, Samyukta Nair has gone Italian. Her latest spot, Nipotina (named after the Italian word for ‘granddaughter’) is open in Mayfair and is focused on homestyle dishes made with seasonal produce, served from breakfast right through to late dinners. Turin-born Somaia Hammad is heading up the kitchen, where she’s serving dishes like Mazzancolle – wild Scottish langoustines roasted with garlic and parsley; Cozze ripiene – stuffed mussels; Fegatini di pollo in padella – chopped chicken livers, balsamic nectar and pancetta; Orecchiette cime di rapa; Tortelli di aragosta alla vodka – lobster triangolo in a spicy red vodka sauce; Triglia alla Livornese – Livornese-style roasted red mullet with capers, lemon, Leccino olives, parsley & tomatoes; Bistecca alla Fiorentina; and Nonna Lina’s ricotta cake.
