Neal St Restaurant restaurant and product information

Neal St Restaurant - Antonio Carluccio's world-famous Italian haven - a la carte dining

Antonio Carluccio is a long-standing favourite down Neal Street with his legendary establishment - over 20 years old and still going strong. Its the serene slice of Italy that diners travel to from across Europe. The word is out about Neal St, one of the most authentic and luxurious restaurants this side of Milan.

Get yourself here for simple, seasonal, regional Italian cuisine like you've never tasted before. You'll be relaxing in perfectly chic, intimate surroundings, right in the heart of Covent Garden. You couldn't be any closer to theatreland or cinema-central. So it's ideal for a superb pre or post show/film meal.

From the a la carte, you'll be offered the ultimate in speciality pastas and edible funghi. Mr Carluccio knows a thing or two about these - trust us. Or you can opt for such treats as baked savoury cream with black truffles, grilled venison with morel sauce, chestnuts and chickpea cakes, or hazelnut semi-freddo with pistachio and chocolate sauce. And if this hasn't blown your taste buds apart, there's a monthly regional set lunch menu as well.

The atmosphere was buzzing and we had a fantastic meal. Antonio Carluccio also came and asked us if we enjoyed our meal - which was really great as we were celebrating a birthday.
