This viral Italian restaurant in the heart of London is a must-visit
On its website, Ave Mario shares that its kitchen serves up “the softest Neapolitan pizzas, Spaghetti Carbonara served in a 4kg pecorino wheel and the humongous T-Bone Fiorentina for two – an 850g cut, grilled and served with a delicious salsa verde”.
Open for lunch and dinner servings, the Covent Garden spot has three themed dining rooms, with courtyard 1 and 2 and the basement area.
Ave Mario has a choice of menus, including the menu of the month and a set pre-theatre menu.
The menu of the month offers the likes of homemade spaghetti in a creamy Parmigiano sauce with fried courgette and grated provolone, and homemade mafaldine with indulgent truffle and mascarpone cream, fresh black truffle from Italy.
