Chef Theo Randall, who quite simply is one of the finest cooks around when it comes to authentic Italian food.
On the Menu…/
Theo's new dishes celebrate the simple yet robust flavours of Italian cooking that he has become renowned for.
New signature dishes include a rich yet delicate Sformato di Fontina (baked Fontina cheese soufflé with spinach, cream and black truffle); Taglierini con gamberetti e carciofi (handmade pasta with brown shrimps, artichoke, chilli and butter); and Ravioli con cime di rapa (ravioli of turnip greens, ricotta and pecorino di Pienza).
The Venue…
The bar area has undergone a significant redesign to incorporate a sommelier's table, ideal for a casual pre-dinner cocktail or a few drinks and antipasti. The restaurant interior also now has a more contemporary feel through use of materials such as Terrazzo and Carrera marble, as well as muted green olive and grey tones inspired by a rural Italian palette.
