Welcome to LAVO London, where bespoke craftsmanship and fine dining blend to create an unmissable destination for aficionados of both style and substance. From the intimate interiors to the sophisticated setting, every facet of LAVO London has been curated to offer a distinctive experience where Italian cuisine meets luxurious space, all set within the heart of London’s dynamic dining scene.
LAVO London stands as a testament to luxury hospitality, situated within the prestigious BoTree hotel designed by EPR Architects. This stylish venue is split across two floors, featuring a ground floor buzzing with natural light and a cosy fireside terrace, and a lower ground floor that hosts a sophisticated bar area and intimate settings for private dining. With the use of bespoke furniture, the interior design by Concrete Amsterdam incorporates elements of Italian opulence with modern flair, creating a versatile and inspiring space.
Upon entering LAVO Ristorante, guests are greeted by an atmosphere charged with energy. The space is designed to cater to both lively gatherings and quiet, intimate dining, making it a perfect destination across various occasions. The vibrant atmosphere is further enhanced by the tasteful music selection and brilliant service.
The approach to creating the interiors was guided by a philosophy of harmony and innovation. The main dining area features bespoke restaurant furniture, including custom-designed booth seating and bespoke bench seating that offer both comfort and privacy. Materials like the ribbed recycled leather from Buxkin highlight the commitment to sustainable luxury, while hand-painted details by Lizzi Porter and rattan lampshades add a touch of artisanal elegance.
The interior is a visual masterpiece that showcases wood-panelled ceilings and exposed brickwork, evoking a sense of warmth and welcome. A living wall and strategically placed olive trees imbue the space with a Tuscan garden feel, while floral seating fabric reflects the colourful nature of Italian cuisine. The use of leather and two-tone fabric backs on the seating further elevates the overall aesthetic.
Each piece of furniture at LAVO Ristorante was meticulously crafted to enhance the dining experience. Our bespoke furniture not only supports the functional needs of a high-end restaurant but also complements the interior’s thematic essence. From fitted furniture that maximises space utility to luxurious banquettes that enrich the guest experience, every element is crafted with precision and care.
In our commitment to innovation, we have incorporated advanced materials and techniques. The banquettes feature ribbed leather, offering durability and style, while the booth seating utilises a blend of leather and fabric to provide an unmatched level of comfort and luxury.
LAVO London’s menu, crafted by Chief Culinary Officer Ralph Scamardella and Culinary Director Stefano Lorenzini, is a showcase of refined Italian cuisine. Signature dishes include the giant Wagyu meatballs, a bold blend of wagyu and Italian pork sausage, served with whipped ricotta in a robust marinara sauce. The LAVO Negroni, one of the bold signature drinks, offers a perfect accompaniment to the meal.
The offering includes a carefully curated wine list that complements the flavours of the menu. Cocktails, crafted by skilled mixologists at the LAVO bar, include ingredients like black truffle and kaluga caviar, providing a unique twist to classic recipes. These beverages are specially curated to enhance the flavours of the dishes and ensure a well-rounded dining experience.
From the ground up, every element of LAVO Ristorante has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously executed to ensure that every visit is both a visual and culinary delight. Whether it’s the bespoke furniture that adorns the intimate settings or the meticulously crafted menu, LAVO London stands as a beacon of Italian cuisine and bespoke design in the heart of London.
LAVO Ristorante’s presence at The BoTree is the result of a dynamic partnership between the hotel and Tao Group Hospitality, who bring global expertise to this London gem — a dining venture that’s a fusion of local charm and international finesse.
