Bolton’s Restaurant is a longstanding Italian dining room at 13 Cullum Street in the City of London, only a short walk from Leadenhall Market. For more than thirty years it has combined traditional hospitality with a modern approach to classic Italian food, creating a polished setting for business meals and relaxed dinners.
Antipasti range from burrata with roasted peppers and Parma ham with mozzarella to calamari, king prawns and scallops. Minestrone, asparagus and beef carpaccio add further variety, allowing diners to begin with something light or assemble a broader selection of Italian flavours for the table.
Pasta includes lobster linguine, beef ragù, cacio e pepe, wild mushroom risotto and ricotta filled tortelloni. Dover sole, sea bass, veal Milanese, saltimbocca and prime beef fillet extend the menu beyond pasta, with fresh vegetables, potatoes and salads available alongside.
Tiramisu, panna cotta and other familiar Italian desserts provide a traditional finish, supported by a wine list that travels through several regions of Italy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served from Monday to Friday, making Bolton’s useful throughout the working day as well as for an evening in the City.
