Description

Osteria by Bocconcino – Covent Garden Italian Restaurant & Event Space

Osteria by Bocconcino offers a taste of Italy in the heart of Covent Garden. From the team behind Bocconcino Mayfair and Soho, this restaurant is inspired by the lively tradition of Italian osterie – places made for sharing food, enjoying wine, and celebrating the everyday.

The menu blends Bocconcino favourites with rustic Italian classics: scallops with pumpkin cream, beef tartare with potato millefeuille and cheese fondue, handmade tagliatelle with beef ragù, and ossobuco risotto with saffron. From the open grill, enjoy whole butterfly sea bass with salsa verde or prime cuts of steak. Seasonal ingredients and handmade pastas are at the heart of the experience, paired with an Italian wine list that spans crisp whites, bold reds, sparkling wines, and unique orange varieties.

Warm interiors of wood, stone, and terracotta tones create a stylish yet inviting atmosphere. Guests can enjoy lively weekend brunches with live music, intimate dinners, or full-venue events. With private hire available for up to 150 guests and a dedicated private dining room seating up to 18 guests, Osteria by Bocconcino is a versatile destination for everything from pre-theatre dining to grand celebrations in central London.

  • A word from the chef:

    Our menu is rooted in Italian tradition but designed for the way people love to eat today. We make our pastas by hand every day, celebrate seasonal produce, and bring theatre to the table with the open grill. From a simple cacio e pepe to a côte de boeuf for sharing, it’s about honest flavours, quality ingredients, and food that feels both comforting and special.
