About

La Cucina Di Daffy 2 is a family-run Italian restaurant in Holborn where traditional recipes from Torino meet London's dining scene. Chef Jenny brings her passion for authentic Italian cooking and the finest ingredients, creating homemade pasta dishes and seasonal specials that transport guests straight to Italy. The carbonara with guanciale and the seafood risotto are particular favourites amongst the regular crowd.

The restaurant operates from early morning through to evening, moving seamlessly from breakfast and coffee through to dinner service with live music evenings featuring vocalist Carla O'Neill. The intimate setting and genuine hospitality create the atmosphere of dining in a friend's home rather than a commercial restaurant. Blue, Daffy's adorable dog, has become an unofficial mascot who often greets guests.

Dogs are welcome both inside and outside, making this an excellent choice for a meal with your four-legged companion. The accessible ground-floor location and relaxed approach to canine guests means you can enjoy quality Italian cooking without leaving your dog at home.
