The ultimate “mob wife” is Carmela Soprano. In the seminal show the Sopranos, perhaps the best TV drama ever made, Carmela is often seen enjoying a candlelit meal, somewhere straddling a fine margin: sultry and romantic, but familiar and safe. And Italian, or Italian American: very much the genre of the moment in London. As is mob wife style: big, bold, vampy. If you’re wrapping up in furs, make sure the meal fits.
Where might Carmela venture to in London? London is having a big “red sauce” Italian moment — New York-style joints where meatballs and parmigiana are the order of the day. So probably one of those.
