One Michelin star in Alexander Waterworth Interiors' 2016 Clerkenwell room—exposed brick, patinated plaster, brass fittings—where the Italian-inflected menu of hand-rolled pasta, cured meats, and seasonal produce is executed with the discipline that has kept it among London's best neighbourhood restaurants.
