If you haven't yet heard of Enoteca da Luca, where have you been? This authentic name in Italian dining now has three gorgeous restaurants across London, each one offering a unique flavour of Italy in prime locations all over the city.
For those organising this year's Christmas party, whether it be a get together for friends, family or colleagues, Enoteca da Luca's St Paul's branch is enthusiastically welcoming festive bookings. This particular spot is the perfect place for a party as it's easy to get to, positioned right next to major transport links, and the venue boasts a private dining room.
Enquiries into booking the space can be made via email directly to the restaurant and while it may be possible to take over the entire space, the private dining room makes for a gorgeous place to host a Christmas dinner regardless. Hued in a rich, teal green and decorated with stylish accessories, artworks and plants, this space is tucked away and can be exclusively yours for up to 12 people (or 14, at a push).
The rest of the restaurant is as equally as aesthetically pleasing with exposed brick walls, a central marble bar and cosy, leather booths in jewel tones. If you've been landed with the office Christmas party, we certainly think this spot will impress!
In terms of the food, expect classic Italian flavours across a range of snacks, smaller plates to share and larger mains, too. Why not kick things off with a selection for the table such as octopus carpaccio with orange and rosemary, as well as crispy pork belly with mostarda di frutta, and baby spinach with pear, gorgonzola and walnuts. Larger dishes look like crab-filled charcoal pasta with bisque and lemon zest, as well as the famous seven-layer lasagne, made with an ancient Bolognese recipe.
