Acclaimed Milan seafood restaurant Langosteria arrives in London for the first time, joining a collection of other restaurants at the Old War Office (or OWO) - a historic Whitehall building in the heart of Westminster. This Grade II*-listed establishment, once frequented by Sir Winston Churchill, has been reformed into a haven for foodies. Here, Langosteria offers more than just dining; it provides an authentic taste of Italian seafood dishes with a side of Mediterranean glamour and luxury.
Langosteria began in the Milan Design District, and since then it has made its mark in the most luxurious European destinations, from the picturesque beaches of Portofino to Paris and the white peaks of St Moritz. Simultaneously it has built a reputation as a celeb-haunt, both in Italy and abroad.
The menu comprises a selection of signature dishes — seafood, and langoustines specifically, being the focus; Sicilian prawns, red tuna o-toro, and blue lobster paccheri all feature across all of Langosteria's menus. you'll also find the likes of black grouper tagliata, John Dory and borage tempura, and Queen blue lobster 'alla catalana' on the menu. As you can tell, Langosteria is all about serving the finest seafood possible, all presented with generous service and panache.
Nothing is left to chance - from cocktails to fine wines, every selection is made with utmost care, as they play a starring role in the menu. Enrico Buonocore, the founder, and his team have been hailed as visionary restaurateurs in Italy, not just for Langosteria's food but also for its vibrant and captivating spaces. Unmistakeable trademarks of the Langosteria brand are the red pastel colour palette and eye-catching graphics used also on the menus, which add a distinct flair to the whole dining experience.
