On 14th October, Casa Felicia will open in Queen’s Park, bringing the flavours, warmth and spirit of Naples to one of London’s most exciting emerging food destinations.
Chef Francesco Sarvonio
Conceived as “a soulful Italian kitchen in the heart of Queen’s Park”, Casa Felicia is designed to feel both welcoming and stylish. By pairing ingredient-led cooking with a convivial neighbourhood atmosphere, the restaurant will appeal to locals, couples, families, and destination diners alike.
The Chef
Casa Felicia’s kitchen will be led by Chef Francesco Sarvonio, a Naples native whose cooking is rooted in the traditions of Southern Italy. Francesco has built his reputation across some of London and Europe’s most exciting restaurants, including time at Manteca, as Head Chef at Giacco’s, and residencies at Early June (Paris) and Oranj (London). With his charisma and ingredient-led approach, this Chef is set to become one of London’s most exciting new Italian faces but quickly emerging as a talent to watch in the capital’s dining scene.
The Menu
The restaurant will celebrate the soul of Southern Italian cuisine through handmade pasta crafted in the traditional way — just semola and water — and the very best Italian ingredients sourced in London, working closely with trusted suppliers such as La Sovrana, Henderson Seafood and Cibo London.
Guests can expect generous, authentic dishes inspired by Naples, paired with indulgent desserts that honour Italian tradition. The menu focuses on raw and dry-aged fish techniques, with dishes that elevate the natural flavour of seasonal vegetables, and a carefully chosen selection of meat, always sustainable and of the highest quality. Highlights include Puntarelle salad, colatura di alici; Felicia’s lasagna; Linguine alla Nerano; Ziti alla Genovese; Whole turbot; Salt-crust fish. Whilst those with a sweet tooth will enjoy traditional Neopolitan classics such as Babà Napoletano and Pastiera.
The wine list is as carefully curated as the menu — a balance of natural and classic bottles. Rooted in Campania, the wines echo the food, creating a natural continuity from soil to table The drinks programme will spotlight natural wines, such as Tutto wines, Les Cav des Pyrene; Dispaccio wines and Vinarius, plus signature Campari based cocktails and other classics, with a nod to Queen’s Park’s neighbourhood aperitivo culture — encouraging guests to gather for a spritz or glass of wine before dinner, Italian-style.
The Founder
Casa Felicia is led by Romain Bourrillon, founder of BO&CO, the hospitality group behind concepts such as Cocotte and Supra, and also partner at Jusu Brothers.
Romain began his career at just 16 in the South of France before moving to New York, where he gained experience both front-of-house and in Michelin-starred kitchens. His lifelong passion for restaurants and the art of dining has shaped a career dedicated to building concepts that combine creativity, community, and a deep respect for hospitality.
Speaking about the launch, founder Romain Bourrillon says: “Queen’s Park has such a special energy right now. It’s no longer just a neighbourhood but a destination for food and community. With Casa Felicia, I wanted to create somewhere that feels both familiar and inspiring, a place where people can gather, share great food and feel at home.”
Chef Francesco Savornio adds: “As a Neapolitan, I’m excited to bring the flavours and traditions of Southern Italy to Queen’s Park, but with a modern spirit that reflects London today. At Casa Felicia, it’s all about generosity, authenticity, and creating food that makes people happy.”
This Autumn, Romain and Francesco bring their shared vision of neighbourhood dining full circle: a restaurant that feels as inviting to locals as it does to those travelling across London. By blending authentic Southern Italian cooking, a carefully curated drinks menu and warm hospitality, Casa Felicia will add to Queen’s Park’s growing reputation as a culinary hub — and offer a new reason to gather around the table.
