La Goccia

La Goccia is a popular venue for Italian cuisine in a beautiful setting in Covent Garden. A venture from the Petersham Nurseries team who also run The Petersham nearby, diners are welcomed by the elegant surroundings and the distinctive bar, crafted from individually cast bronze leaves. Tables are available in the dynamic restaurant with views of the open kitchen and wood-fired oven, or you can relax outside on the spacious terrace surrounded by plants and flowers. Private dining and special events like flower arranging or pasta-making sessions are also available.

At La Goccia you can enjoy seasonal menus based on the ethos of slow food. Ingredients are sourced from independent producers, including the family farm. Expect contemporary Italian menus with treats like white truffle pasta, beef tartare with horseradish, and roasted monkfish with capers and lemon. A bottomless brunch is available on Sundays where the prosecco runs freely, alongside nibbles like roast potatoes, baby squid, and friggitelli peppers.

If you’d prefer something a little lighter, you can enjoy a variety of snacks from the bar alongside a fine wine or signature cocktail packed with fruity and botanical ingredients. A small choice of non-alcoholic cocktails is also on offer here. The wine list features exclusively Italian vintages, with a commitment to sourcing organic and sustainable options. At La Goccia diners can enjoy sophisticated Italian food and drinks in a lush and refined Central London setting.
