Bocconi is an Italian restaurant at 5 Goldhawk Road in Shepherd’s Bush. The relaxed dining room serves a broad menu built around fresh ingredients, covering pizza, antipasti, pasta and substantial grilled or baked dishes for anything from a casual local dinner to a larger celebration.
Pizza choices range from a simple Margherita with tomato, fior di latte and basil to Diavola with spicy salami and nduja. Capricciosa brings together ham, mushrooms and olives, while burrata with mortadella and pistachio offers a richer combination. Focaccia, bruschetta, aubergine parmigiana and seasonal salads make easy starters for sharing.
Pasta and risotto include penne arrabbiata, lobster ravioli in bisque, seafood linguine and pappardelle with beef ragù slowly cooked for several hours. Spaghetti with clams provides a lighter seafood option, while porcini mushroom risotto and gnocchi with wild mushrooms and truffle oil emphasise deeper earthy flavours.
Main courses include sea bass with roast potatoes and green beans, lamb rump, chicken saltimbocca, slow roasted pork belly and chicken Milanese served with tomato spaghetti. Tiramisu, panna cotta, lemon cheesecake, affogato and ice cream complete a familiar Italian meal, supported by cocktails, beer and a varied wine list.
