Following the success of Bocconcino in Mayfair, the elevated Italian restaurant concept from Mikhail Gokhner is set to open a second site in the heart of London’s Soho on 15^th September. Located on 58 Great Marlborough Street, Bocconcino will specialise in authentic Italian fare with a contemporary flair, including wood-fired pizzas, handmade pasta and cicchetti.

With capacity for 146 diners spread across two floors, the 471 sqft site will have an open-plan dining area seating 120, plus an intimate bar on the lower-level seating 26. Designed by CO:DE Studios, the upper dining area features a neutral colour palette with modern wooden fixtures and marble tables, with an impressive open kitchen with counter seating where guests can watch chefs create dishes while they dine. The lower-floor bar has fiery accents of red and orange, including an undulating ceiling with a vivid webbed light fixture over the bar area. The restaurant will also offer private dining for group celebrations, plus a DJ space on each floor for live entertainment.

The Soho menu from new Head Chef Simone Serafini – previously of Cecconi’s and 5 Hertford Street –  will reflect the current Mayfair offering but with a wider range of aperitivo dishes and small plates, alongside classic Bocconcino favourites such as the tagliatelle with black truffle and Pizza Diavola (pizza with spicy salami), made fresh by pizzaiolos using a traditional Roman dough and technique.

The wine list is exclusively Italian, with bottles carefully selected from a variety of well-known brands and small, artisan producers, while Bar Manager Tim Adams has created a list of classic and contemporary cocktails.

Andrea Caglioti, General Manager of Bocconcino Soho comments:

“There’s such a buzz in Soho and I’m confident our new restaurant with its vibrant atmosphere, accessible yet elevated Italian menu, great cocktails and speakeasy style bar will be a welcome addition to the area.”

Bocconcino Soho will open seven days a week for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.

A third site is planned for the Strand later in 2024.
