Sous Chef

Bocca di Lupo is a much-loved, multi-award-winning restaurant in the heart of Soho, celebrated for regional Italian cooking that champions the obscure, the delicious, and the fiercely authentic. We showcase the best of Italy's twenty regions - with a menu that changes daily, and a kitchen that makes almost everything in-house: from breads, pastas and sausages, to pickles, salumi, and mostarda.
