Original scene
After being forced out into the streets by a tyrannical dog sitter, Lady gets picked up by a mucky, plucky pup who takes his new flame down to (the back of) a local Italian joint for a bite to eat.
Original setting
A table-for-two spontaneously assembled by a pair of moustachioed waiters in the dank alleyway behind Tony’s Restaurant. Think of it as a pop-up without the queues.
The London version
Don’t take it too literally – an alley date will probably get you thrown in the doghouse. Head to Trattoria Da Aldo on Greek St in Soho for delicious Italian dining.
How to get it right
Think twice before copying the Tramp’s shabby-chic doggy style. And don’t forget to wipe your chin after slurping all that spaghetti – you want to be saucy, not saucy.
What to say
‘There’s a great big hunk of world down there with no fence around it.’
