Cent Anni

What: Cent Anni

In a nutshell: Italian in Wimbledon

Summing it all up: This new Italian restaurant in Wimbledon has taken over from the old Cau site, promising a modern Italian menu.

The low-down

New to Wimbledon (it opened a couple of weeks back) is an Italian restaurant that's taken over the space that once held Cau. The new owners have opened Cent Anni, a modern Italian restaurant. It all comes from Raymond de Fazio, who's also behind Café Med in St John’s Wood and Med Kitchen in Kensington.

And the menu does sound pretty decent. Here's a taste of what's on:

Fillet of beef carpaccio, Parmesan ice cream, micro herbs (pictured above)
Burrata, Sicilian datterini tomatoes, fresh basil
Classic tagliolini carbonara, guanciale, Parmesan, egg
Asparagus risotto, peas, mint, lemon
Chicken parmigiana, linguine, cherry tomatoes, spring onions
Seared yellowfin tuna pizza, ponzu sauce, micro herbs
Grilled salmon, blood orange sauce, green beans, new potatoes
Rib of beef on the bone, rocket and Parmesan salad, hand cut chips (for two)

It's a big menu, so the above is just scratching the surface - and desserts include Crunchy chocolate ricotta cake as well as Lemon and lime pannacotta. Drinks-wise, there's an international wine list with more than a few choice Italian wines on there, as well as classic cocktails.

So if you're in Wimbledon and fancy Italian food - this should be worth a look. And if the weather's good, there's a couple of nice tables outside for alfresco dining.
