If you're looking to impress your colleagues or clients with this year's Christmas party, you'll need somewhere that really stands out. Bocconcino Soho is the second venue in the group's collection, with a fantastic location in the heart of London's buzziest area. Here, your guests will be able to easily make their way to you, and there's plenty of bars nearby if you feel like going for drinks afterwards, too.
Next up, and it's the food - finding a cuisine that everyone likes can be hard, but surely, Italian is a no-brainer? Bocconcino Soho's menu has been devised by Head Chef Simone Serafini who is passionate about paying homage to traditional flavours, while adding his own twist. For this menu, he has developed a Venetian-inspired take on a selection of plates, offering them both in a larger size, as well as a cicchetti serving which are perfect for sharing family style.
Across those smaller, sharing dishes you can enjoy the likes of parma ham with deep fried cheese pastries, alongside beef fillet tartare with homemade crisps and black truffle shavings, as well as deep fried calamari with tartare sauce. There's plenty of main dishes, too, from the pasta section consider fresh linguine, Scottish lobster and cherry tomatoes, as well as pappardelle with wild mushrooms and stracciatella cheese.
If ordering for your group, be sure to check out the Josper grill, with dishes like tuna fillet with asparagus and oven baked cherry tomatoes, and roasted octopus with pea purée and roasted spring vegetables. There's plenty of meat-based plates, too, like the Tomahawk steak which is a great choice for sharing.
Alongside the food, you'll find an expertly curated wine list which draws from the wealth of Italy's different regions. But, if cocktails are more your thing, you'll love signature mixes like the Tuscan Herb Walk with Tanqueray gin infused with Italian herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano and lavender, paired with Cointreau, rose wine reduction and fresh grapefruit juice.
