There's more than one reason that Tavolino will impress your colleagues for this year's Christmas party. First off, the stylish interiors. This design-led, modern Italian restaurant in London Bridge certainly looks the part. Split across two floors, coffee-toned flooring is complemented by split burgundy walls and a rustic feature bar. As Italians well know, ambience is everything and the lighting at Tavolino is warm and glowy, using sophisticated hanging pendants.
Next up, is the view. Situated right on the edge of the river bank, Tavolino benefits from glorious views down the Thames which really come alive at night as the skyline wakes up and city begins to sparkle. With vast, spanning windows your whole party will be able to see Tower Bridge light up come dusk.
And then, of course, there's the food. Who doesn't fancy a bit of feel-good Italian cuisine in the depths of winter? Tavolino boasts a menu that both pays homage to the traditional tastes of Italy, but with some modern twists. Private dining parties are invited to dine from the set menu which offers a set two or three course selection. Start with some authentic antipasti with options such as burrata, beetroot carpaccio, bitter orange and crispy thyme, or beetroot carpaccio, orange, fennel and walnut pesto.
Moving onto mains and there's lots to choose from whether you're into whole baked sea bream with tomatoes, olives and oregano, or perhaps chicken Milanese with rocket, pesto and parmesan mayo, plus a fried Burford Brown egg. Those with a sweet tooth won't want to miss out on dessert, especially with offerings like rhubarb, custard and basil panna cotta, as well as pistachio budino with dark chocolate and citrus. You can also opt to treat your group to a drink along with their meal of either prosecco or Champagne.
