Bocconcino Soho

Refined Italian with late-night spirit

Bocconcino Soho brings Mayfair polish to Soho, opening on Great Marlborough Street in September 2023 as the group’s second London site. The experience blends smart hospitality with pace. Guests can expect handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, generous cicchetti, and a confident cellar, served across a two-level room designed for both date nights and group celebrations. Weekends and evenings carry a party edge, with resident DJ nights and a lively bar that still keeps service tight. The kitchen nods to the brand’s origins while reading modern London, pairing classics with seasonal plates and a few crowd-pleasers from the grill. It is straightforward to book online, and the team makes walk-ins work where possible. The result is a clear promise for lunch, pre-theatre, or late dinner in the thick of Soho life.

Technique, consistency and visible credentials

Experience shows in a menu shaped by skilled pizzaiolos and chefs working over a Josper grill, with dough and sauces handled for balance rather than fuss. Expertise spans seafood, meats, and vegetarian options alongside Italian-leaning cocktails and a broad wine list. Trust is reinforced by a transparent reservations path, published opening hours, and a current local food-hygiene entry, while steady third-party coverage confirms the opening details and format. Authoritativeness comes from the brand’s Mayfair flagship and a growing London footprint that now includes Covent Garden’s Osteria by Bocconcino. In practice, guests see crisp pacing, dishes that land hot, and staff who explain choices in plain English. For anyone mapping a central night out, Bocconcino Soho offers polished service, upbeat energy and Italian favourites delivered with consistency.
