The concept of being small but mighty is a horrible cliche and one that we won’t use to describe Lovage. However, we must admit that we didn’t expect a place as small as this to be quite so charming. You can’t get away without mentioning the view. Unremarkable in one direction, but turn the other way and the Torre Velasca looms up. And inside, despite the diminutive footprint, it doesn’t feel too cramped, and the kitchen is far more than an afterthought.


Home truths:
*This is a studio – it's pretty small
*The street outside is always busy so there's a fair amount of street noise
