Murano

Angela Hartnett’s stylish restaurant has been a Mayfair fixture since 2008, but was given a little decorative refreshment in 2023, leaving the room brighter and a little less formally attired. Her Italian heritage continues to inform the appealing menu, with pasta dishes like provolone and smoked potato agnolotti particularly impressive. Prime British ingredients such as Cornish cod and Hereford beef are used to good effect – and the Amalfi lemon tart remains a reassuringly permanent fixture on the dessert menu.

What makes it stand out

• Angela Hartnett's Italian lens in Mayfair: big flavour, clean structure, no needless theatrics.
• A menu that reads Italian, but eats British: pasta alongside top local seafood and meats, then the lemon tart to finish.

Ingredient stars

• Pasta dough and slow-built sauces, the kitchen's backbone.
• British seafood (crab, white fish) handled with Italian restraint.
• Lamb and other British meats, paired with Italian-accented aromatics.
• Amalfi lemon, the calling card in the restaurant's lemon tart.

Menu

• Modern Italian cooking led by seasonality, with prime British produce on the plate.
• À la carte built around pasta, seafood, and meat, with a long-running signature dessert.
