LUCIANO
Located at the ME London hotel on The Strand ( 336-337 ), and with its own private entrance , guests arrive to a refined and alluring reception area , where heavy black wooden cabinets embellished in antique gold and a generous glass wine wall proudly display the extensive selection of famous and lesser-known premium Italian wines available at Luciano . All are sourced direct through Gino ’ s hand-picked Italian suppliers , of which many are exclusive to the restaurant .
At the rear a beautiful feature wall adorned with exotic birds and bold wildflowers , and enveloped by plants , delivers a striking impact , providing a first hint of the décor inside .
To the left , the beautiful open-plan restaurant unfolds with vast arched windows to two sides of the historic building flooding the restaurant with natural light and affording views out to the capital ’ s renowned theatre district .
