The wait is over. Amalfi Ristorante has officially thrown open the doors of its dazzling new flagship in St Paul’s, bringing a taste of the Amalfi Coast to the very heart of the City of London. Just a stone’s throw from the great dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, the restaurant promises old-world Italian glamour with a distinctly London edge.
Step inside and the transformation is immediate. Sunlight glances off marble mosaic floors; plush banquettes hug the walls like they’ve been waiting for a long lunch meeting; and a sweeping bar glitters with premium wines and rare spirits. It’s an interior that whispers of la dolce vita, but knows exactly where it is — right in the beating financial heart of the capital.
Accommodating up to 170 guests, Amalfi St Paul’s has been designed as a sanctuary for every occasion. Whether it’s breakfast with a view of Sir Christopher Wren’s 17th-century masterpiece, a power lunch, a candlelit dinner or a private celebration, the restaurant is tailored to make each moment feel timeless.
At the heart of the experience is a menu that reads like a love letter to Italy’s coastline. Fresh oysters arrive like a promise. The signature lobster pasta — rich, indulgent, unapologetically luxurious — is already being talked about as the dish that defines the Amalfi Ristorante experience.
Handmade pastas, sourdough pizzas blistered in stone ovens, refined seafood and steak plates complete a line-up that blends authenticity with contemporary finesse. Every plate is a nod to conviviality, craft and the simple pleasure of good food done exceptionally well.
The drinks programme is no afterthought either. A deep, carefully curated wine list showcases vintages from Italy’s most celebrated vineyards alongside international classics. The cocktails lean into the playful sophistication of the aperitivo hour — spritzes and Campari-led signatures that manage to be both elegant and effortless.
Adding a touch of celebrity sparkle, Amalfi has joined forces with Della Vite Prosecco, the luxury label founded by Cara, Poppy and Chloe Delevingne. Their collaboration will headline the restaurant’s exclusive launch party on 14 October, where VIP guests will raise a glass of Della Vite to a live DJ soundtrack. From that night on, anyone booking through the Amalfi website will be welcomed with a complimentary glass — because first impressions matter.
An Amalfi Ristorante spokesperson said: “St Paul’s is one of London’s most iconic and historic locations, and we wanted to create a restaurant worthy of its surroundings. Amalfi St Paul’s captures the glamour of the Italian Riviera while celebrating the spirit of the City. From the marble floors to the lobster pasta and the first sip of Della Vite Prosecco, every detail has been designed to make dining here feel like a special occasion.”
This opening isn’t just another addition to London’s dining scene; it’s a statement. With its prime location, refined design, star-studded partnerships and exquisite food, Amalfi St Paul’s sets a new benchmark for Italian dining in the capital.
