Il Trillo is an independent Tuscan restaurant at 4 Hollywood Road in Chelsea. The Bertuccelli family opened the London venue in 2012 after establishing the original Il Trillo in Massa, Tuscany, in 1983. Historic regional cooking, modern technique and carefully sourced seasonal ingredients shape an intimate dining experience supported by a remarkable collection of Tuscan wine.
Small plates include truffle mortadella, San Daniele ham, octopus and potato croquettes, and burrata with tomatoes and Parmesan crisps. More elaborate antipasti move through tuna tartare, Sicilian red prawn carpaccio, cuttlefish stew with chard, beef filled onion rolls and artichokes wrapped in pancetta. These dishes connect coastal seafood with the earthy flavours of northern Tuscany.
Pasta brings together handmade shapes and rich regional sauces. Pear and pecorino tortellini is paired with pistachio and saffron, while tagliatelle combines prawns, langoustine sauce and truffle. Linguine with clams and courgette offers a lighter seafood choice, joined by beetroot gnocchi, pappardelle with Chianti marinated wild boar and pici with duck ragout and Tuscan pecorino.
Main courses include beef cheek braised in Sangiovese, fillet steak with green peppercorn sauce, roast duck breast, stuffed rabbit, hake with pea sauce and sea bass Wellington. Traditional tiramisu, caramelised apple and pear cake, chocolate cake, sorbet, gelato or cantucci with Vin Santo provide a measured finish. Wines from celebrated Tuscan estates and the family vineyard are central to the complete meal.
