Prezzo has opened a new Italian restaurant on the Strand, its seventh location in London, with cosy, Christmassy interiors and a few playful touches designed to make dining out more memorable.
Having opened its doors on October 16, the restaurant is the latest addition to Prezzo’s growing London presence, becoming its seventh location in the capital and 97th restaurant nationwide.
With a prime position on one of London’s most recognisable streets, it is well placed to attract a mix of office workers, theatre-goers, tourists and Londoners looking for somewhere to enjoy a relaxed meal.
Stepping inside, the restaurant feels cosy and welcoming, despite being right in the middle of bustling central London. The interiors have a distinctly Christmassy feel, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes it particularly enjoyable for an evening visit, and the sort of place you could happily spend a few hours catching up with friends or colleagues over good food and a glass of wine.
For an after-work dinner, the sharing starters are a good way to begin: focaccia, tomato bruschetta and hot honey mozzarella sticks, offering a little taste of everything before the main courses.
For mains, there is a good variety across the table, with something to suit different tastes and dietary preferences, from the plant-free spaghetti bolognese to salmon and potatoes and the Marry Me Chicken pasta, alongside comforting pasta classics and a plant-based alternative.
Prezzo is also keen to make the Strand opening a little different from its other locations. Among the more unusual additions are discos in the toilets, as well as 3D glasses and activity packs to keep younger diners entertained. There is also the chance to challenge a member of the restaurant team to a game of rock, paper, scissors, with the prize of 2-for-1 desserts up for grabs.
The menu itself also has some new additions, including bigger and fluffier pizzas, alongside the Italian classics Prezzo is known for. Its signature Bolognese is cooked from scratch in the restaurant every day, while the Strand team will also be introducing locally curated specials, giving them the freedom to bring their own ideas and personality to the menu.
The restaurant has been designed to cater for a range of occasions, whether that is a family lunch, dinner with friends, a pre-theatre meal or somewhere to take a break while exploring the capital. Its location makes it particularly convenient, with Covent Garden, Theatreland and some of London’s best-known attractions all within easy walking distance.
Club Prezzo members can also take advantage of exclusive offers and rewards.
It is the latest new opening in the capital, after Jollibee opened on Oxford Street and the Saving Grace pub prepared to open in Bromley on Monday.
