The espresso has been bitter here for as long as anyone can remember, and that is precisely the point. Bar Italia is an old-school Italian coffee bar on Soho's Frith Street, the kind of place that watched a restaurant literally called Flavour Bastard open and close across the street without blinking. Cold Peroni, bacon ciabatta, fluorescent light: nothing changes, nothing needs to.
