Carlotta

Chris Lucas, the acclaimed hospitality mastermind behind Chin Chin and Kisumé, has turned his attention to the capital with the launch of Carlotta. Drawing inspiration from the charming trattorias dotting the European coast, this Mediterranean restaurant sets the stage for long, leisurely lunches that effortlessly roll into aperitivo sessions and beyond. Kick off your evening here with a signature Sorrento Fizz at the long marble-topped bar, where you can take in the lively scene of the open kitchen. As food envy kicks in, feast on rosemary and sea salt focaccia, baked to perfection in a custom wood-fired oven from Naples, and complement it with a premium selection of Italian mozzarella and salumi. The pasta is made fresh daily and coated in slow-cooked beef ragu, lobster oil and chilli, and classic tomato sugo. Pair your pasta with showstopping meat and seafood mains, which are cooked over coals and designed for sharing.
