Nestled amidst Delhi’s relentless hum, Latango feels like stepping into an eternal European summer, where days stretch long and meals stretch even longer. The city’s first all-day European bar, helmed by culinary torchbearers Sahil Sambhi and
an ace Italian team, doesn’t scream for attention; it simply seduces you with quiet elegance.
The space is a love letter to Old World charm: diffused light dances off crystal glasses, while conversations ripple across tables like whispers shared on the Riviera. The Negronis speak fluently in Italian accents (thankfully, not lost in translation), and their spritzes taste like they were bottled from a balmy afternoon in Positano. Everything at Latango invites you to linger, from the tempo of the waitstaff to the dignified pause between dishes, like commas in a great novel.
And the food? Oh, the food. It doesn’t chase trends, it deep dives into tradition. Take the Stracciatella that melts like a poem on the tongue or the Crab tagliolini, kissed by coastal Italy’s breeze. Even the omelette Café de Paris is a revelation, flipping breakfast into a masterpiece.
Latango isn’t just a bar. It’s a mood, a passport-free escape to Europe and, perhaps, Delhi’s most elegant way to say, ‘stay a while’.
