The story
Mezzogiorno by Francesco Mazzei channels the generous spirit of Southern Italy onto the London dining scene. This Italian kitchen draws direct inspiration from the coastal traditions of Calabria. Seasonal produce anchors every plate. The menu prioritises authentic regional techniques that highlight the raw ingredients rather than heavy sauces.
Fine wines form the backbone of the dining experience here. Mazzei pairs regional selections to complement the bright flavours characteristic of Mediterranean cooking. Guests gather around tables designed for conversation. The setting encourages unhurried meals that honour the simplicity of southern European hospitality.
The consistent quality of the food earned two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence in 2026. This accreditation reflects a steady commitment to precision across the service and the plates. Diners return for meals that balance restraint with richness. The accolade sits quietly alongside the daily work in the pass.
