Bocca di Lupo, tucked into Archer Street behind Piccadilly Circus, serves dishes from Italy’s regions, each marked on the menu, in small or large portions so you can try several. The marble counter looks into the kitchen, and the sister gelateria, Gelupo, is across the street. It is a lively choice before or after the theatre; Piccadilly Circus station is a few minutes’ walk away.
