A new spin-off from a famous Florence-based, international group (founded in the 1950s, whose HQ is the 15th-century Palazzo Antinori) – this summer 2023 newcomer is the brand’s first UK venture. It occupies a three-storey site, just off Sloane Street, from which it offers all-day dining featuring Tuscan food and wine in a fairly old-school vein.

Summary

A new spin-off from a famous Florence-based international group (founded in the 1950s, whose HQ is the 15th-century Palazzo Antinori) – this Autumn 2022 newcomer is the brand’s first UK venture. It occupies a three-storey site just off Sloane Street, from which it will offer all-day dining featuring Tuscan food and wine in a fairly old-school vein. The opening sounds like it’s a project of serious intent, as evidenced by their 10-year lease. Cantinetta Antinori also has outlets in Zurich, Moscow, Vienna and Monaco.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

Evening Standard

Needing to lift her spirits, Joanna Taylor slipped into holiday mode at the famous Tuscan wine dynasty’s Knightsbridge restaurant, where she found herself amid “decor that mixes the Orient-Express and a Far Far Away castle”.


As the name and postcode suggest, “this is not the place for a cheap and
cheerful supper. In fact, a dinner here may set you back more than flights
to Pisa.”


The food, though, is excellent, with the “Kobe beef carbonara … a
deliciously quirky surprise” and the pistachio tiramisu something “I would
grab on to any day”.
