For more than two decades, Luca Dusi's vibey wine bar in East London has built up a reputation for being a fabulous place to sit and sip good wine. And now the team behind it are gearing up to open a brand new wine bar and restaurant in Clerkenwell. They've taken over an old tattoo parlour on Exmouth Market.
As with their original bar in Shoreditch, the Clerkenwell branch will focus exclusively on great Italian wine "imported from small artisan natural wine producers across 95 different wineries in Italy".
The new wine bar will also sell Italian wine and food to take away.
There's no word yet on whether the Clerkenwell branch will follow Luca's promise to "fuck the wine list". Currently, staff chat to customers about their likes and dislikes, recommending wines they're in the mood for. You get three to try before you make a choice.
We'll add more details about this opening as we get them - watch this space.
