Pulp wrote a song about it, Adam Ant has a record cover featuring it and Suggs, Kylie Minogue and Rupert Everett frequent it on a regular basis. Since opening its doors in 1949 Bar Italia has become an institution in Soho. Open 23 hours a day and closed for 60 minutes for a clean up, Bar Italia sets the tone of Soho. Using the same brand of coffee since they opened their doors 63 years ago, the baristas know the regulars well, they know their coffee well and they know Soho well.
