Il Baretto Marylebone is a contemporary Italian restaurant and wine bar at 43 Blandford Street. The smart ground floor bar provides a relaxed place for drinks and lighter food, while the larger basement dining room creates a more intimate setting for lunch, dinner and celebrations. Its position between Marylebone High Street and Baker Street attracts both neighbourhood regulars and visitors.
Antipasti and breads introduce the restaurant's Italian approach with ingredients chosen for clarity and quality. Cured meats, cheeses, salads and seafood can be shared before the main courses, while freshly prepared pizza bread gives the table a simple accompaniment. The format works equally well for a sequence of small plates or a traditional multicourse meal.
Pasta is one of the main attractions, with lobster tagliolini and maccheroni with black truffle among the best known dishes. Pizza adds crisp bases with classic Italian toppings, while the robata grill brings direct heat to meat, fish and vegetables. This combination gives diners a choice between comforting pasta, lighter seafood and more substantial grilled dishes.
Italian desserts and coffee complete the food offering, supported by a carefully assembled wine list, Champagne and cocktails from the bar. Lunch and dinner service runs from Tuesday to Saturday, and the different spaces can accommodate both intimate meals and larger parties. Outside catering extends the same Italian menu to private events beyond the restaurant.
