LAVO

LAVO’s blissful depiction of Italian cuisine really is an adventure, thanks to the glamorous setting that is the BoTree Hotel in Marylebone. You’re in good hands with welcoming staff who take care of you from the moment you walk in, and lead you through a breathtaking restaurant, designed to look like a chic Tuscan garden. Luxury extends to the experience too – staff offer you a choice of water infusions before you’ve even ordered a snack with wedges of grapefruit, lemon, lime, and cucumber available for your pick.

LAVO’s spacious dining room scales over two floors and includes a sophisticated bar area, perfect for cocktail catch-ups. All dining tables offer maximum privacy with a variety of booths and widely positioned tables to choose from. We began our dining experience with a selection of antipasti, which included an excellent Fritto Misto - the perfect pick for seafood lovers, with crisp, fresh seafood paired with a side of spicy tomato sauce, which really complimented the dish. We also loved the grilled octopus, with succulent slices of octopus arranged on a bed of celery, potatoes, black olives, and cipollini onions; a surge of complementary flavours in every bite.

The menu is well thought-through and showcases an array of delicious Italian classics, the best of which is a Silk Handkerchief pasta dish, where pasta sheets are tossed in a sumptuous wild boar bolognese, a good handful of Parmigiano Reggiano and light shavings of black truffle.

LAVO is all about aesthetics, but brilliant service and a menu full of excellent dishes options mean that this restaurant is more than just a pretty face.

LAVO brings a slice of coastal Italy to Marylebone, offering a vibrant dining experience that’s as indulgent as it is stylish. Originally hailing from Los Angeles, this glamorous import now sits proudly within The BoTree hotel, delivering bold flavours, dramatic cocktails and a touch of West Coast flair to central London.

The menu is a celebration of Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist. Signature dishes include a showstopping 1kg T-bone steak, cooked over the grill and served with a choice of two contorni and a sauce; delicate sea bass with fennel and Sorrento lemon; chicken parmigiana with gior di latte, tomato and basil; and rich truffle and mozzarella arancini. Pasta is hand-made in house and served in dishes like lobster linguine with fresh chilli, and truffle fettuccine. Desserts are equally theatrical – the 20-layer chocolate cake is a must for those with a sweet tooth.

LAVO’s interiors match the menu’s exuberance, blending sophistication with a lively, cosmopolitan energy. Whether you’re settling in for a business lunch, a celebratory dinner or a decadent weekend brunch, the atmosphere is always upbeat and welcoming. The brunch offering, features unlimited helpings of fresh seafood, live carving stations and indulgent Italian flavours - perfect for leisurely weekends in Marylebone.

Drinks are no afterthought here. Expect curated wines and cocktails that riff on the classics with flair and finesse. From spontaneous surprises to big celebrations, LAVO is designed to impress.

LAVO is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s a destination restaurant that feels both luxurious and accessible – ideal for those seeking a memorable meal in one of London’s most charming neighbourhoods.
