Barbarella, ristorante del Cinecittà

Amongst the soaring towers and urban wilderness of Canary Wharf, we invite you to step inside our cinematic restaurant on the water… Barbarella.

Our 1970s retro-futuristic escape to the glory days of Cinecittà, built to house your most indulgent fantasies, whether that be twizzling one-meter long truffle-coated spaghettone in a golden-velvet booth on our lush palm-tree-filled ground floor, or reclining with a rich pistacchio espresso martini from our XL cocktail list in our silver spangled lounge upstairs.

Chef Marco has truly declared ‘When in Rome’, as is his birthright, with this menu, to offer beloved favourites (our sublime Prosciutto di Parma isn’t going anywhere), twisted classics, think caramelised red pepper tatin with Parmigiano cream, or, for the indecisive, a daily changing pizza selection to keep you coming back for more and more. Want to go big? Take on our biggest steak ever, a humongous 1.2kg T-Bone Cornish steak, all washed down with our most-extensive list of rich Brunellos.

Just remember amici, what happens at Barbarella, stays.
