Trattoria tradizionale

Carlotta

Book
Scroll

A suave, elegant homage to Italian tradition, whether that be a trattoria in Palermo, Sicily, or a family run ristorante in Oakland, New Jersey. We are paying tribute to the Italians who packed up their bags, recipes and heritage and took them across the pond to create a wealth of new Italian cultures. Just like our squadra when they set their boots in London in 2019.

Head Chef Armando, armed with new recipes from his Nonna Gina to Alfredo Viazzi, needed some BIG ingredients. So being true cosmopolitans, we’ve got a menu stuffed full of the finest British produce we could get our mitts on, from Razor Clams caught on the beaches of Scotland to high-welfare rose veal from Alternative Meats in Cheshire for our Tartare di Vitello Tonnato. Whilst this traditional ristorante menu wouldn’t be complete without our pasta maestros, whether that’s a spicy nduja twist on the classic Spaghetti and Meatballs, or our Fettuccine Alfredo al Tartufo per 2. Not forgetting dessert, head straight to the altar as Carlotta’s Wedding Cake is calling…

Why don’t you take reservations ?



We use amazing products that come directly from amazing producers located in Italy. We only serve fresh, 100% made-in-house food. And in order to stay in the spirit of the authentic Italian trattorias we love so much, we offer a menu that’s as affordable as possible. The reality is that latecomers and cancelled reservations represent an enormous cost for restaurants. In order to be able to offer quality products at affordable prices, we have to ensure that all our seats are filled. Either we accommodate a lot of people, or we make a lot of profit.

Plus, there’s advantages to not having to reserve 2 months in advance just to eat a pizza ! To put it simply : we understand that not taking reservations can be inconvenient for our diners, but we have to weigh this consideration against the fact that we’re trying to offer high value-for-money by squeezing our margins. To make things just a little bit easier, we’ve put in place a wait-list system whereby our hostess take your name and telephone number and call you when your table is ready.
