Glitzy Italian restaurant Bocconcino has long been a part of the Mayfair set of dining spots most beloved by footballers and folk who aren't worrying too much about the bill at the end of the meal. They then opened a more affordable version in Soho and next they're about to try their luck in another area of London that's getting a lot of restaurant activity recently, the Strand.
They're taking over a site underneath the Strand Palace hotel, around the corner from Joe Allen. It's a spot that gets a lot of tourist traffic and it probably doesn't hurt that the office block opposite houses an investment bank. The main restaurant will be on the ground floor, with a decent-sized bar. Head downstairs and you'll also find a large private dining room space.
There's no word so far on what's planned food-wise apart from the name Osteria Del Mare, which strongly suggests there will be a different seafood-led approach at this new venue.
We'll bring you more news on this when we get it.
