Housed within the heart of Mayfair, one finds Avista to be a stylish and cosy Italian restaurant, featuring a fabulous bar and a private dining room. Complete with abstract paintings and subdued lighting, it creates a cool ambience that perfectly suits a night out with family and close friends.

A combination of both rustic and contemporary Italian cuisine is the basis of the menu here, and you can begin with buffalo mozzarella with cherry tomato and basil or fried calamari with tartare sauce. For those who?d like to focus on something more challenging, vie for the roast octopus with spicy sausage vellute and crispy leeks or the roast baby lamb with Swiss chard and roasted cherry tomato. Spicy marinated pineapple with yoghurt ice-cream or hot chocolate foam from the Caribbean with raspberries and ginger make for exciting desserts.

Comfortable and inviting, the Avista Bar offers cocktails and classics like the Classic Martini, the Ginger Cosmopolitan or the Strawberry Dream.
