Nina

Nina occupies the basement at 18 Thayer Street that first opened in 2014 as Pachamama, the Peruvian restaurant that helped introduce London to that cuisine. Pachamama Group turned its attention to Italy in 2025, reworking the space and opening Nina in its place: hand-rolled pasta, crudo and an all-Italian wine list, alongside sister restaurants Zephyr and Bottarga.

Down a steep flight of stairs behind an unmarked door off Marylebone High Street, the room opens into a run of half-hidden nooks around a long, mirrored bar lit by a cluster of glass-globe fixtures overhead. Soft plasterwork gives way to raw brick in places, leopard-print upholstery and candlelit tablecloths carrying the room's warmth through to its furthest corners. Reservations run up to six months out; a 6pm or 9:30pm walk-in is the more realistic way in without one.

Private dining spans a ten-seat room and two semi-private areas — one beside the open kitchen for around 25, the other further back for up to 50 — with group menus arranged through hello@nina.london.
