alto by San Carlo, Selfridges

Italian riviera living is conjured up all year round at the chic Selfridges rooftop, alto by San Carlo. It's the place to satisfy cravings for classic Italian food made with the very best and seasonal ingredients.

Risottos are a highlight, especially the prawn and basil variety; there's an excellent lobster spaghetti dish, too. The seabass baked in black volcanic Mount Etna salt from Sicily is a signature dish, as is the highly recommended chianina beef tagliata.

For dessert, opt for the Coppa Golosa: a giant bowl of chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla gelato topped with crushed Ferrero Rocher and warm Nutella sauce, or fogliatella shell shaped pastry filled with sweet ricotta cheese, candied orange pieces, topped with gelato and finished with a pistachio sauce. For the indecisive, dessert lover, there's a cicchetti platter with small tasters of every dessert on the menu, too.

It's a great spot for a little R&R or a glass of fizz pre or post shopping spree.

Dinner for two including drinks: £140
