Il Baretto - The Culture Hub's New Favourite Italian

43 Blandford Street, London W1U 7HF, Tel. 0207 486 7340

The Culture Hub recently ate at Il Baretto near Marylebone Hightreet, the food was unrivaled by any Italian competitor in London. 


The selection of starters is endless, with classics such as Buratta, Venetian style Scallops and the freshest Beef Carpaccio. The Culture Hub could not resist from sampling a number of the mouthwatering appetizers. 


For the main course you are also faced by a plethora of Italian specialties. The Culture Hub sampled one of Il Baretto's famed dishes, the Pizza Bismarck - Mozzarella fiordilatte, asparagus, soft egg
& black truffle - a unique tasting experience, delicious! Il Baretto boats a Robata grill serving up perfectly cooked T-Bone steaks and Dover Sole. The pasta is not for the faint-hearted, perfectly 'al dente' pastas including Lobster Linguine and Black ink tagliolini with crab meat & courgette are presented beautifully and hardly leave enough room for pudding.



The Traditional tiramisù is a favourite, andThe Culture Hub would also recommend the Warm rhubarb & Amaretti cake with its sorbet.
