TOZI Restaurant & Bar, Victoria brings the convivial spirit of Venice to a welcoming dining room on Gillingham Street. Opened in 2013, the restaurant takes its name from Venetian slang for a group of friends, which neatly captures its sociable approach to eating. The setting feels polished yet relaxed, making it suitable for anything from a casual lunch to a celebratory dinner.
The food centres on cicchetti, the small plates associated with Venice and the wider Veneto region. Seasonal ingredients are used across vegetables, seafood, meat, cheese, pasta and risotto, allowing guests to build a meal from several contrasting dishes. Sharing gives the table freedom to taste widely and encourages the easy pace that defines the restaurant.
The bar is an important part of the experience, with an all Italian wine list, sparkling wine, Italian gin and cocktails inspired by classic aperitivi. A Negroni or a glass of wine can begin the meal, while staff can help pair bottles with the varied cicchetti selection. This close connection between food and drink reinforces TOZI’s modern interpretation of Italian hospitality.
TOZI is a short walk from Victoria station and well placed for nearby theatres, offices and Westminster attractions. Menus designed around lunch and theatre timings support guests with a schedule, while the main dining room and private space can accommodate longer gatherings. Other TOZI concepts operate elsewhere, but this article concerns the original Victoria restaurant at 8 Gillingham Street.
