Florentine Trattoria, Covent Garden, London
Ave Mario, autentica trattoria toscana
Ave Mario is our most decadent London trattoria, inspired by a Florentine palazzo but with a bold 80s twist. Six-metre high ceilings, a central bar decorated with 3,500 bottles and an irresistibly retro atmosphere in the heart of Covent Garden. Our Head Chef Gianluigi heads up the kitchen, serving up the softest Neapolitan pizzas, Spaghetti Carbonara served in a 4kg pecorino wheel and the humongous T-Bone Fiorentina for two - an 850g cut, grilled and served with a delicious salsa verde. Not forgetting dolci, where an airy three-chocolate mousse is waiting for you. It's dangerous, I'm falling. The perfect spot for a date with your lover, a lunch with your BFF or a family meal just as you like it. Ave Mario is open for lunch and dinner.
