Theo Randall Cucina Italiana

Theo Randall La Cucina Italiana brings a lively slice of la dolce vita to Mayfair. The kitchen follows the rhythm of a daily changing menu, inspired by Theo Randall’s trips to Italy and grounded in the freshest seasonal ingredients. Fridays hum with live music, giving the room an easy swagger that suits lingering over antipasti and a glass of something characterful.

The cooking leans into elegant simplicity and honest flavour. Think creamy burrata with tomatoes, grilled red peppers and walnut pesto, or silken beef carpaccio sharpened by wild rocket and balsamic. Hand rolled pappardelle con ragù di manzo is rich and comforting, while risotto primavera lets English asparagus and peas do the talking. For secondi, orata al forno with potatoes and fennel nods to the coast, and filetto di manzo wrapped in Parma ham brings savoury depth. Zucchine fritte and roasted potato with rosemary make quietly irresistible companions.

The wine list is extensive, with a strong Italian accent, and there is playful licence at the bar: guests can personalise Italian classics, from a negroni tuned with their choice of gins, vermouths and bitters to other tailored sips. Settle in, follow the seasons, and let the evening unfold. Reserve your spot and taste Italy, one well-turned page at a time.
