Pitched as a high-end dining experience at reasonable prices, it is poised to become one of the city's hottest new hangouts for food enthusiasts.
Celebrating Handmade Pasta and Regional Flavours
At the heart of Tortello is a celebration of handmade pasta, crafted daily using exceptional Italian flour, golden-yolk eggs, and beautifully sourced produce. The menu showcases soulful regional dishes, ranging from delicately filled tortelli and slow-cooked ragùs to seafood pastas inspired by Italy's coastline. Alongside these, diners can enjoy antipasti, seasonal secondi, and traditional desserts, including a highly praised tiramisu.
Italian-Inspired Drinks and Craft-Led Interiors
The drinks list at Tortello journeys through Italy, featuring spritzes, a selection of Italian wines, digestivi, and authentic espresso to finish the meal. Set within the Royal Lancaster London, overlooking the Italian Gardens of Hyde Park, the restaurant's interiors mirror its craft-led ethos.
Expect a warm, trattoria-style atmosphere with playful Italian touches, such as a pistachio-green vintage Fiat 500 at the entrance, hand-painted vineyard murals by a London artist, tiled walls, olive trees, and herbs lining the space. A terrace provides picturesque park views, enhancing the dining experience.
