The 65-seat gourmet restaurant was designed by Vincenzo De Cotiis. It features a striking black and white theme and an artistic dialogue with the historic elements of the Beaux-Arts building. It also features artwork created on site by Christopher Le Brun PPRA and Nacho Carbonell.

The kitchen of Emanuele Pollini

Emanuele Pollini’s culinary philosophy evokes a taste journey through his childhood in Italy. Serving locally sourced, seasonal produce, Pollini’s menu draws inspiration from his formative experiences in his grandmothers’ kitchens on the Adriatic Sea and in the Alps.

Pollini, renowned for keeping a strong connection to its Italian roots, also introduces exciting flavors in new and unusual combinations. The menu includes new dishes as well as his signature dishes that have earned him international recognition.

Signature dishes :

Starters: Insalatadi mare-fish and steamed seafood, green peas and potatoes
Pasta and risotto-Linguine ai ricci (sea urchin), lime kosho (zest paste), lime, chives
Pasta and risotto – Lasagna – reinterpretation of the Italian classic
Main dishes: Grilled rack of lamb, trifolati mushrooms (sautéed), al verde potatoes
Dessert: Tortino al cioccolato (Belgian chocolate fondant)

A light menu is served in the nearby events hall, which launched its program on September 22 with the Friday Jazz series, showcasing some of today’s best jazz musicians. The restaurant will expand in spring 2024 into the garden of Ladbroke Hall – more details will be announced soon.

The wines are selected by renowned sommelier, Romain Audrerie, who previously worked at André Balazs Properties, Koko, the Pacha group and The Standard Hotel.

Vincenzo De Cotiis Architects

The restaurant’s interior designed by Italian architect and artist Vincenzo De Cotiis provides diners with a dramatic backdrop that complements the black marble balustrade that surrounds the space, an original feature of the Grade-listed former 1903 automobile factory II.

Custom-made artwork, tables and wall lamps maintain a black and off-white color contrast throughout the room. The tables feature black and white fiberglass tops atop cast metal bases, and the sconces are available in two finishes, silver and antique silver. The antiquing process makes each piece appear to be dyed black, juxtaposing the metallic sheen of silver.

The centerpiece of the restaurant is the bar, an indoor drinking and dining space, enveloped by an artistic fiberglass wall on the exterior, combined with hand-treated black granite on the interior, with aged glass shelves. The lower surfaces of the space are black and gradually fade to white, moving away from the balustrade and towards the large, bright Edwardian windows.

Site-specific artwork

The restaurant is also filled with large-scale artwork commissioned from British painter Sir Christopher Le Brun PPRA, and a large-scale monochrome central chandelier by Spanish artist and designer Nacho Carbonell.

Le Brun has completed his largest permanent commission in the UK to date: four new oil paintings entitled “Wheat”, “Leaf”, “Rose” and “Snow”. snow). These works, which explore the classical repertoire of painting, are also loosely linked to the theme of the four seasons, thus reflecting Pollini’s seasonal menu.

Carbonell’s monumental chandelier, which crowns the dining room, is made of steel, wire mesh, sand, paper pulp and Paverpol, and measures five meters high and three meters wide. Lit from within, the light diffuses through the canvas, producing a natural, warm and ethereal glow in the restaurant.

About Emanuele Pollini

Emanuele Pollini (born 1986 in Cesena, Italy) discovered his passion for cooking at a young age, beginning his training at the Istituto Alberghiero Pellegrino Artusi in Forlimpopoli.

He worked along the Adriatic coast and, later, in some of the world’s most renowned kitchens, alongside star chefs such as Vincenzo Cammerucci (Italy), Martin Berasategui (Basque Spain), Carlo Cracco (Carlo e Camilla , Segheria, Italy) and Esben Holmboe Bang (Maaemo, Oslo, Norway).

Other top restaurants include Terre Alte and La Buca in Cesenatico, Italy, where Pollini developed his techniques and knowledge of seafood, and Clooney, New Zealand’s best restaurant.

Pollini briefly stepped away from the world of gastronomy to work in the Turchi family’s small olive mill, located in the hills of Cesena, Italy. It was there that he found the family’s almost lost recipes that inspired him to create his Earth cuisine, a concept using the vegetables and herbs he produces himself. For a time, Pollini also worked in high profile bakery boutiques and ice cream workshops in Italy, until the opportunity arose to open OVO By Carlo Cracco as Executive Chef at Lotte Hotel, Moscow. At the end of 2020, Pollini created VAVARE, a gastronomic laboratory that quickly rose to the highest national levels and simultaneously led the planning of the catering spaces of the GES-2 House of Culture, a center artistic of 44,000 square meters designed by Renzo Piano.

About Vincenzo de Cotiis

Vincenzo De Cotiis was born in 1958 in Gonzaga, Italy. He studied architecture at Politecnicodi Milano and founded his studio in 1997. Considered a pioneer of contemporary collectible design, Vincenzo De Cotiis creates unique and limited edition projects by hand in his workshop.

De Cotiis is looking for new manifestations capable of combining archaic idioms with futuristic expressions. His creations are born from an assembly of recovered materials, reflective and futuristic surfaces, and appear evocative in their final form. A form of art and design that is not reproducible. Some of his works are available at Carpenters Workshop Gallery, an artists’ gallery located in Milan, and at major international design fairs.

As an architect, De Cotiis creates sculptural spaces that evoke physical and intellectual experiences at the boundary of art and architecture, challenging traditional categories between artistic disciplines. A fertile dialogue between the old and the new is the cornerstone of his work; history is released in spaces where the line between past and future blurs. His work represents a winding path that often returns on itself, a path fueled by parallelisms of space and time, cultural layers and quantum leaps. A process imperceptible to reason and the intellect, but which manifests itself through the materiality of his countless works.
