Spaghetti
House, the family company that introduced true Italian home-cooked
food to London over 50 years ago, is set to open its latest
restaurant at Westfield London this April.
Spaghetti House
Restaurant Group launches a new venue this April at Westfield London,
the capital's ultimate shopping destination in W12. Developed at a
cost of £1 million, the new 168 seat restaurant will be located
in The Loft, directly above the bustling communal dining area known
as the Balcony, and overlooking The Atrium, which is the heart of
Westfield London.
The interior will
be reminiscent of the 'contemporary retro' style which shows how the
group continues to evolve, whilst remaining true to its original
roots, and reflecting classic Italian taste and detail. The design is
influenced by Stefana Lavarini, the company's marketing director and
daughter of Simone Lavarini, co-founder of Spaghetti House. 'Going
back to our family roots and resisting the appeal of trends and
rollout interiors means getting to the heart of our brand, based on
the heritage and evolution of the original site in Goodge Street, W1'
says Stefana.
Thus, breathing
originality into the original concept, an eye-catching high seating
counter will enhance the entrance, leading into the main restaurant
with its impressive temperature controlled wine display. Theatre will
come from the open kitchen with its flame fired pizza oven,
positioned at the rear of the restaurant - reminiscent of the open
kitchens seen as 'revolutionary' some 50 years ago at the original
Goodge Street branch. With a striking combination of red leather
banquettes, booth seating, dining tables and poser tables, coupled
with iconic Italian images offset by dark wood display cabinets,
ceramic textures and light wood floor finishes, Spaghetti House
Westfield London will capture the essence of true Italian urban style.
In addition to the
restaurant, the Loft Terrace to the front and outside the main room
will provide a sheltered al-fresco style of dining. Shoppers, cinema
goers and local residents will experience the appeal of an informal,
authentic family-run ristorante/pizzeria. Families and children will
be made especially welcome with the 'Menu per Bambini', which
includes a selection of dishes from the main menu particularly
suitable to the little ones.
Bringing a slice
of Italian life to Westfield London, The Spaghetti House menu will be
based on the key principles of authentic Italian cuisine,
complemented by a notable selection of Italian wines. The menu will
showcase modern Italian dishes, classics and home-made favourites.
The trademark pasta dishes and stone-baked pizzas will sit alongside
new regional specialities inspired by the chefs' recent workshop in
Le Marche region of central Italy with chef Franco Taruschio, from
the famed Walnut Tree restaurant.
Dishes are
prepared using market fresh ingredients, sourced from local suppliers
or from specially imported premium Italian ingredients, under the
culinary guidance of group head chef Marco Giordano
