Harden's says

The first London opening from the US Tao group, which owns Hakkasan, is a branch of its nightclubby high-end Italian brand, Lavo, in Marylebone High Street's new BoTree hotel, opening October 2023. Expect resident DJs and maximalist food, including signature wagyu meatballs and 20-layer chocolate cake.

Summary

An Italian September 2023 newcomer, from Tao Group Hospitality: the business which owns the (nowadays international) Hakkasan and Yauatcha chains. Within a swish new boutique hotel in Marylebone, the press release promises ‘a vibrant space illuminated by a colour-changing light feature that expands across the ceiling’, where you can enjoy pastas, pizzas, ‘a showstopper Wagyu meatball topped with whipped ricotta’ (wow!) and ‘an indulgent 20-layer chocolate cake’.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"This new restaurant is as Smooth as silk and has portions for gladiators. Far too easy to over order here. Great vibe very attentive service. We spaced out tables. Between six we could easily have ordered only three starters. The meat ball is epic! Starters could easily double for main courses. And yes the 20 layer chocolate cake would need 10 people to do it justice so take it home with you. "
