Looking for authentic Italian food in a central London setting? Step forward Mercante, the all-day restaurant in the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane.

The monthly-changing menu will take you on a tour of Italy’s 20 regions via the bustling markets of Rome, Venice and Napoli.

Start with a selection of small plates such as Arancini Amatriciana or creamy burrata with heirloom tomatoes. Mains include hearty meat dishes and flavoursome pastas. Slow cooked fettuccine bolognese is a must!

Feeling thirsty? Start with a small but beautifully-formed selection of classic cocktails, before discovering your new favourite Italian wine. The terrace faces south and is lovely for lunch.
