Enoteca da Luca is a small collection of authentic Italian cuisine restaurants and wine bars with three sites across London. This Christmas, each branch will be welcoming festive bookings, whether you're bringing together friends, family or colleagues.
If you're looking for a great spot for festive hosting in the City, Enoteca da Luca's Guildhall location could be just what you've been waiting for. Nestled on Basinghall Street, just a hop and a skip from Bank station, the restaurant boasts a large, open plan space, stylishly decorated with industrial furniture and atmospheric lighting.
Here, you can takeover the entire restaurant or just part of it, simply send an email to the restaurant team directly to discuss your wants and needs. Especially for the season a group booking menu has been developed which works best when shared amongst the table.
First up, there's a mix of starters to enjoy including smoked swordfish carpaccio with pomegranate, lime dressing and watercress, alongside braised veal meatballs with rich tomato sauce and gnocco fritto. For mains, choose between the likes of pumpkin filled tortellini with mostarda, amaretti and parmesan, as well as slow cooked lamb shank, mash potato, roasted chestnuts and red wine reduction, plus almond crusted sea bream, broccolo Romano and baby leeks.
Alongside this, guests will be lavished with sides of rocket and Parmesan, as well as crispy baby potatoes, and given the option to choose a fresh dessert from the daily menu. As well as being experts in Italian dining, Enoteca da Luca prides itself on being part wine bar, too, so taking a good look at the drinks selection is a must-do. Here, you'll find wines curated from all over Italy, with bottles from Tuscany, Sicily and Venice. Be sure to ask your server's advice and find a pairing that works beautifully with your meal.
