Frantorio is the best Italian in Chelsea. Stiff competition, but I concur! x

I can't believe I've only just discovered it. Just the most wonderful atmosphere and as soon as you get near it, the aromas are so tantalising that you can't NOT go in. What do you order? Any recommendations?

I haven’t been in a while - have been tempted away by the other local contenders but have never had bad dish. The last time I was there Christine and Frank Lampard were also dining. Also, I have about four different sets of girlfriends who all consider themselves to be the staffs favourite patrons, so gaslighty vibes aside, a testament to how special they make diners feel 😂

I am desperate to experiment with blush and this looks stunning on you! I'm tempted to go down a slightly pinkier route, but don't want to look like Picasso's Dora Maar.

I went for dinner with a girlfriend a few weeks ago. We went for tapas, served as and when they are ready, as is the norm. We took a photograph of the first plate, put down our phones, and there they stayed for the remainder of the evening. It was only when we left the restaurant and left each other that we realised we had no photographs of the food, the restaurant or together. 'If we didn't put it on the gram, did it even happen?!' (We're using it as a reason to organise something else soon)

I love this! I remember Sam Chapman saying a few years ago that no photos is a sign of a good time and I think she's right. I was at a big joyous BBQ on Saturday and there are two pics of the entire thing! Must have been a good time!

TIMY is one of my fave brands. The cleansing balm is one of my most used. It’s fantastic. And lucky you seat between 2 of my fave instagrammers
