Amalfi St Paul's: New Italian restaurant brings a slice of 'la dolce vita' to central London
A new luxury Italian restaurant, Amalfi Ristorante, has opened in the City of London, promising marble mosaics, lobster pasta and a dash of dolce vita steps from St Paul’s Cathedral.
You no longer need a flight to Naples to soak up Amalfi’s coastal charm - just a booking near St Paul’s.

The Italian Riviera has landed in the City, as Amalfi Ristorante officially opens its glamorous new flagship restaurant a stone’s throw from the Cathedral’s famous dome.
Inside, it’s pure Italian sophistication with a London twist. Think marble mosaic floors, deep banquette seating and a sweeping bar stocked with rare spirits and fine wines. The restaurant can host up to 170 diners, with a private room for those who prefer their pasta with a side of privacy.
The menu is a love letter to Italy’s coastline: handmade pasta, stone-baked sourdough pizzas and seafood cooked with flair. Highlights include fresh oysters and a lobster pasta that’s already turning heads.

Drinks-wise, there’s a curated wine list showcasing Italy’s best vineyards, plus cocktails that channel the carefree spirit of the Amalfi coast.
Adding extra sparkle, Amalfi has teamed up with Della Vite Prosecco, the luxury label founded by the Delevingne sisters. The fizz flowed freely at the launch party earlier this week, where VIP guests toasted the opening to a live DJ set.
From this week, diners booking via Amalfi’s website will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of Della Vite.
A spokesperson said: “We wanted to create a restaurant worthy of St Paul’s, where London’s grandeur meets Riviera glamour.”
