Forza Wine at the National Theatre

Join us at Forza Wine at the National Theatre for cocktails, natural wines and river views, plus an "Italian-ish" sharing menu centred on seasonal ingredients, and a buzzing atmosphere. 

Start with a classic cocktail or one of our bar team's inventions, then dig into a portion of cult classic cauliflower fritti. Choose from our ever-changing food selection, from salads and dips, all the way to fish dishes and steaks, all meant for digging into around the table. For groups of four or more, we recommend just ordering the whole menu and letting us take care of the rest.

Dessert comes in the form of one of our signature soft serve ice creams, or a Custardo® (basically an affogato, the Forza way), and our wine selection is broad and expertly curated, but accessible too. There's something for most tastes, whether you're a buff or you just like a glass of something tasty. 

Whatever your reason – whether it's pre-show or for a birthday lunch – come and see us, and let us make you happy. 

For summer 2025, we've also taken over the Weston Terrace, directly beneath Forza Wine's terrace, to bring Forza Taps to the NT. Here we serve beer and natural wines on tap, as well as Italian spritzes and handmade cocktails, plus a picky bits menu starring arrosticini (aka Italian kebabs), meats, cheeses, and most importantly: crisps. At Forza Taps we accept walk-ins only, and we think it's a perfect spot to while away the hours on the South Bank.
