This February legendary hotels Claridge’s and Hotel Il Pellicano join forces to bring some dolce vita flair to Mayfair with Il Pellicano’s one week residency at Claridge’s Restaurant from Monday 17th – Saturday 22nd February 2025. Bringing some much welcomed sunshine to London during the winter months, Chef Michelino Gioia and his team will serve up an abundance of Tuscany’s flavoursome ingredients with his signature Italian dishes, alongside legendary barman Federico Morosi, who’ll be mixing up some of his famous cocktails.
Dishes that will be served on the Claridge’s Restaurant menu will include Hotel Il Pellicano’s specialities, including Maremma-style Ravioli with butter and sage, Risotto with shrimp, ginger and lime to start, Veal cheek, potato cream, chicory and Chianti sauce, Turbot with stuffed escarole and anchovy sauce, Poached organic egg, asparagus cream, smoked scamorza cheese and black truffle for main, and no Italian feast is complete without a generous helping of Tiramisu to finish.
For the perfect aperitivo, the bar menu features signature Italian cocktails crafted by the legendary Federico Morosi, whose artistry has defined Hotel Il Pellicano’s bar over the years. Highlights include The Teller Negroni, an homage to the celebrated photographer Juergen Teller; Pelican Martini, a symbol of timeless elegance; and The Dana Patsy Spritzer, a tribute to the vibrant legacy of one of the hotel’s founders. Each cocktail tells its own story, blending tradition, inspiration, and Morosi’s unparalleled mastery.
Marie Louise Sciò, CEO and Creative Director at Pellicano Hotels, comments,
“We can’t think of a more perfect place to welcome our dear friends and family from London than Claridge’s, our longstanding home in the capital. This residency feels particularly special, as both Claridge’s and Hotel Il Pellicano share a legacy of excellence and a passion for creating unforgettable, timeless experiences for our guests.
