and a Flourless Chocolate Cake . Alongside there will be an ever-changing specials board chosen by the knowledgeable team , and a Sunday Feasting menu is planned to launch soon after opening . an appropriate choice for a colloquial lunch , a long afternoon or an evening meal kicking on late into the night .
Food is to be approachable and unfussy , with a considered menu of classic Italian dishes and specialities , made with ingredients from carefully sourced suppliers in Italy and around the UK . Fellini showcases a healthier , holistic approach to Italian food , with a focus on nourishing and fuelling the community whilst offering true quality .
Dish highlights include the Fellini Primavera with homemade aubergine and basil pesto and courgettes , and the entirely vegan Ravioli Rossi , consisting of spicy chickpea-filled pasta served with a butter and sage sauce . The menu features an array of freshly prepared main-sized salads and a selection of veg-forward pizzas are prepared with organic and excellently sourced seasonal produce , with the option to make any pasta dishes and pizzas gluten free upon request . Secondi include Veal Milanese and simply grilled fish , with the menu rounding out with much loved decadent and delicious Italian desserts such as the Fellini Tiramisu
Lookswise , guests can expect Fellini to evoke a sense of the slow-paced Italian summer lifestyle in leafy London - attractive and luxurious without the gauche . The restaurant will feature olive trees , providing a taste of Tuscany and the walls will be lined with black and white photos of familiar faces , mounted in glossy black frames . There will be backlit banquet seating surrounds the edge of the room , with the glass front half shuttered with rich walnut slats and roman blinds in olive linen to ensure that guests may retain their discretion as day turns to night . A terrazzo marble bar will run the length of the room , where guests are encouraged to join the bar staff for an aperitif or digestif upon their visit . The dining room will seat 75 covers inside , with a wrap-around terrace providing another 20 al fresco that will open to the public in June .
Owner Tony Aalam and team say : ‘ We ’ ve been looking forward to opening our door at Fellini for some time now . Our commitment to ‘ Come Era Una Volta ’, or ‘ How It Used to Be ’, will be prevalent in the restaurant as we revive the personal touch of 20th century Italy , delivering true hospitality and timeless service . We hope that Fellini will naturally become a go-to for our neighbours and indeed draw visitors from across the city . We are filled with anticipation and eager to greet our guests .’
