"Princi is worth visiting just as an architectural experience. But it also delivers delicious food at really modest prices for long hours, making it an exhilarating addition even to an area as over-supplied as Soho." READ REVIEW
I had lunch at Princi yesterday. There was a great range of breads, pastries and hot foods on offer, but wanting a light snack I opted for their salads. The portion they serve is way more than a light snack size, but was so good I had to eat it all. The mozzarella in the salad was delicious and the quality of the pasta salad was excellent (no overboiled soggy pasta here). The huge salad was served with a couple of slices of sourdough bread which was a little dry, but very tasty.
The experience of the restaurant itself is quite fun – chaos rules as you move from one food area to another; not one to visit if you don’t like a bit of a challenge.
Princi is miles ahead of other fast food lunch spots in the area, and not much more expensive. I will return
