Sartoria

A meal at this tailoring-themed D&D London outpost might well persuade you that bespoke suit you’ve just been measured up for round the corner on Savile Row might need a more generous waist. For, though starters such as octopus carpaccio with tomato & olive dressing sit lightly on the stomach, the rest of the menu is a carb- & protein-lover’s paradise: veal ravioli with butter & marjoram, chicken breast stuffed with mushroom & ricotta with broccoli & chilli, with perhaps a side order of Jersey royal potatoes. The mixing of sweet & sharp flavours stops the overall sensation from being too heavy &, though you might finish with wild berries with fresh mint & vanilla cream, why pass up the opportunity of eating a plate of Italian cheeses? Slick service fits the smart surrounds & corporate ambience to a T, but be warned: Sartoria is ‘excellent but expensive’.
