A household name globally from Miami to Mumbai, Cecconi’s is known for it’s modern take on classic Italian cuisine.

With it’s flagship restaurant in the heart of Mayfair, the restaurant is always buzzing and lively- perhaps why it is a go-to place for breakfast business meetings throughout the week.

While the window tables are ideal in the daytime, this joint is perhaps even better enjoyed at the bar. Although guests usually prefer coveted tables in the main dining room, for someone looking for a glass of prosecco and a delicious bowl of pasta- the bar is indeed the central point of the restaurant. With it’s high green-leathered stools, the bar allows guests unfettered access to the posh Burlington Gardens through the restaurant’s glass ceilings.

In terms of food, some of the popular starters amongst guests include the Whipped Ricotta, truffle and honey Crostini (shown below):

Cecconi’s latest edition is the Cecconi’s Pizza Bar– and as the name suggests, this new joint in Soho solely serves authentic Italian Pizza. The staff is always polite and eager to serve and the pizzas come large and piping hot straight from the oven.
