Bardo, London

Undoubtedly one of the most romantic restaurants in London, Bardo St. James’s is an Italian restaurant offering a multi-sensory experience. It offers a unique approach to Italian gastronomy using a selection of only the very best and most authentic produce sourced from the UK and Italy.

The extensive menu is divided into eight sections and really encapsulates the spirit of traditional Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist. Start with a Pinsa, a scrumptious cloud-like pizza in a variety of flavours but the Tartufo Nero with fior di latte and black truffle puree is unforgettable. The Insalata di Pomodori is also delicious, a Datterino tomato salad with figs, toasted almond and a drizzle of balsamic. For Primi, a highlight is a succulent Paccheri ai Porcini e Gamberi with paccheri, porcini mushroom, prawns and a spritz of Sicillian lemon or Tagliolini al Tartufo, black truffle tagliolini with truffle butter and Umbrian Autumn truffle. For Secondi standout dishes include Branzino Arrosto, roasted sea bass served Romana style with violet artichoke or Merluzzo Nero, succulent black cod with a crudaiola sauce. Finish a perfect meal with Bardo’s signature decadent Tiramisu. 

The interiors are spectacular, with opulent marble, solid wood, exquisite Italian furniture and Murano glass chandeliers. There is also a extensive fine wine selection and a incredible live band playing each evening, guests couldn’t want for more.
