Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

Unapologetically maximalist Italian-American playground featuring velvet booths, mirrored walls, and a high-energy atmosphere that prioritizes spectacle over culinary subtlety.

Ordering Strategy

Portions are heavy and designed for sharing. Save significant room for the Wedding Cake dessert. Request a table upstairs for the skylight and glamour, or downstairs for a moody, retro-club vibe.

What to order

Safe first

Tortelloni With Lamb Ragù

Hand-made tortelloni stuffed with a spicy Cornish lamb ragù and served with a rich tomato sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano, and fresh basil.

Hungry

Lobster Carlotta

The 'headline act' of the main menu, this 1kg deshelled Cornish lobster is served with beurre blanc and crispy potatoes; it can be further elevated with an optional addition of black Venetian caviar.

Wildcard

Carlotta's Wedding Cake

A signature dessert featuring layers of almond génoise and raspberry, topped with vanilla cream and meringue. It is delivered with a 'certain flourish' and is large enough for two to share.

What to skip

Skip
10-tiered chocolate fudge cakeDescribed as a symbol of the restaurant's lack of restraint, critics suggest you 'avoid' this massive dish if you are 'cutting down on the calories'.

Good to know

Booking is essential. The restrooms are a major attraction featuring a Virgin Mary statue and ring lights designed specifically for selfies.
