Cantinetta Antinori London brings the Antinori family’s Tuscan hospitality and winemaking heritage to Harriet Street in Knightsbridge. The elegant but relaxed dining room serves lunch and dinner, with seasonal Italian cooking designed to sit naturally beside the family’s wines. Handmade pasta, carefully sourced meat and seafood, and uncomplicated regional flavours shape the menu.
Antipasti include beef carpaccio with rocket and Parmesan, vitello tonnato, yellowtail with truffle and citrus, and a daily seasonal plate. Italian cured meats range from Parma ham and mortadella to wild boar salami, with mixed boards offering several varieties alongside crisp pane carasau. Burrata, pizzette, calamari and other sharing dishes allow a table to begin with a broad taste of the kitchen.
Fresh pasta and risotto form an important middle course. Casarecce can be served with Tuscan veal ragù or tomato and basil, while pappardelle, tagliolini with Parmesan and black truffle, and spaghetti with anchovy butter offer richer combinations. Saffron risotto and changing pasta of the day provide further choices shaped by season and availability.
Main courses include veal escalope with lemon, seared tuna with fine beans, meatballs in tomato sauce, chicken with roast potatoes and changing fish dishes. Panna cotta, chocolate desserts and traditional Italian sweets finish the meal. Antinori wines are the natural centre of the drinks list, joined by champagne, cocktails and other Italian bottles selected to complement the food.
