Just moments from Covent Garden’s piazza, Osteria Del Mare is a fresh new addition to London’s dining scene - and an inspired choice for private events with a coastal Italian twist. Located on the Strand, this elegant seafood restaurant brings the relaxed charm of Forte dei Marmi to the heart of the West End, offering an inviting setting for celebrations, group dinners, and corporate gatherings alike.
With its warm wood tones, natural textures and Mediterranean-inspired interiors, Osteria Del Mare is refined yet relaxed - ideal for everything from birthday bashes to business socials. The main dining room is available for exclusive hire, seating up to 80 or hosting 150 standing for a more informal affair. Whether you're planning a team dinner or taking over the whole space for a special celebration, the atmosphere strikes just the right balance of stylish and welcoming.
The private dining room has space for up to 18 guests and offers an even more intimate setting, perfect for hosting bespoke experiences with extra flair. Your gang are welcomed to order from the group dining menu which is designed for sharing, socialising and packs serious flavour. Starters arrive family-style - expect creamy Andria burratina with cherry tomatoes, crispy tiger prawn tempura, fried calamari, and yellowfin tuna tartare. For mains, guests can choose from comforting pappardelle with wild mushrooms and stracciatella, a summery swordfish tagliolini, octopus with confit potatoes and cavolo nero, or wild salmon with red caviar sauce. There’s also the option of pizza for a more casual touch.
To finish, a trio of Italian desserts - tiramisu, hazelnut choux, berry cheesecake, and an ice cream selection - are served to share. You can also add Mediterranean or Niçoise salads to round out the spread.
Osteria Del Mare’s wine list, curated with Italian flair, features crisp whites, sparkling options and a few offbeat finds - ideal for pairing with seafood and raising a glass to your event. With warm service, standout food and a beautiful central location, it’s a venue that brings the best of the Italian coast to Covent Garden.
