Jamie's Italian in Canary Wharf, opened in August 2009, is the first central London branch of his 'Italian' restaurants (there are others in Kingston, Oxford, Bath and Brighton), offering simple, rustic Italian fare and a speedy delivery - no dish takes longer than 10 minutes to cook. There's a no-booking policy at the large 200 seater restaurant which comes complete with a spit roast and a big outside terrace. Simple dishes like Prosciutto, wild rocket and sliced crisp pear as well as delicious plates of homemade pasta (available as large or small portions) are typical. For the full, authentic Italian experience, start with bruschetta on sourdough bread, rubbed with garlic and topped with rocket and parmesan pesto, then antipasti of cured meats, followed by pasta. Who knows how anyone can manage to fit in mains and desserts after all that but, if you can, try the Italian Bakewell tart and Italian ice cream for a unique mix of English and Italian traditions.
