L'Anima Description:
This is a glossy, smart restaurant, light and airy with natural materials and subdued colours, opened by Francesco Mazzei (who opened St Alban for Wolseley owners Chris Corbin and Jeremy King). It's unashamedly aimed at City high rollers or those with sophisticated tastes. Mazzei is a very accomplished chef and here concentrates on his southern Italian upbringing and first culinary experiences. Menus change seasonally; in winter perhaps Mazara shrimps from Sicily in a salad with tonnato sauce or a southern Italian soup, then Sicilian rabbit or turbot baked in a wood oven with potatoes, olives and sun-dried tomatoes. All is well prepared and given the high standards offers a good value meal. The wine list is naturally dominated by Italy and champions some of the best; there are also wines by the glass or carafe. Service is as smooth as the venue. Set 2-course lunch £22.50, 3 courses £25.50.
