An Italian steakhouse from Lecce in Puglia has opened a London branch in Chelsea – with little in the way of introduction or promotion. Tabisca has taken over a site near Sloane Square long occupied by Como Lario, and more recently by short-lived restaurants Liv and 1771.

Tabisca’s menu showcases a selection of Italian raw and cured cold meats and cheeses, followed by an international selection of steaks from the US, Canada, Argentina, Ireland, Scotland, Australia and Japan along with Spanish pork and New Zealand lamb.

Steak prices range from £33 for a 300g grass-fed black Angus ribeye from Rioplantense in Argentina to £220 for a 1kg black Angus T-bone from Creekstone Farms in the US.
