Summary
“Tucked away in Marylebone, with a friendly vibe and tasty food”, this creative outfit marries flavours from Spanish, Italian and Japanese cuisine. “Some of the tapas are very good indeed”, and they are supported by a serious wine list focused on Spain and Italy.
Summary
“Fantastic food and professional service” combine at this Marylebone tapas bar, where Amalfi-born chef Eduardo Tuccillo creates a ‘connubio’ or marriage of Mediterranean flavours, drawing broadly on Spain for the meat dishes and his native Italy for vegetables. If choosing is tricky, there is a range of tasting menus to ease ordering.
Summary
“Really enjoyable” is the general verdict on this “creative” (if “slightly cramped”) Marylebone tapas bar with a ‘twist’ – the twist being that the dishes are not Spanish but a marriage, ‘connubio’ in Italian, of different cuisines – hence the recent re-launch (it was founded seven years back as Twist at Crawford).
Summary
“Very surprisingly delicious, every mouthful – way beyond expectations” – Eduardo Tuccillo’s tucked-away Marylebone venture (on the site that ages ago was Garbo’s, RIP) is arguably “very underrated due to its location” in a “so-loud, as it’s so-small” two-floor space. But while it feels “too casual to be a very special night out, the food and service can’t be beaten”: “a different approach with tapas that aren’t just Spanish” delivering “some inspired food combinations”. “On the pricey side, but consistently well worth it.”

Twist Connubio Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Nice small place, open kitchen, warm fuzzy vibe, solid tapas though not wildly unusual, long wine list, Italian and Spanish, for a small joint."
"A curious little restaurant that seems to be flying rather under the radar, Twist is oddly located in a backwater of Marylebone and looks fairly unprepossessing from the outside. The interior is cosy but quite terracotta-med-generic and doesn't give much of a warning about what comes out of the kitchen—high-quality ingredients simply prepared. The real star dishes are those from the Josper grill, some excellent meats (pluma of Iberico anyone?) that happily stand up against much more exalted places, and at not too bad a price either. A lot emptier than it deserves to be. "
