The account of Ciro Orsini's culinary ventures across the global read like a success story that's 'not just about making the difference, but creating the difference', perfectly captured in their catchphrase. The concept may be simple Italian but it reaches out to an audience across different countries and cultures, and likewise at Beauchamp Place, Ciro's Pizza Pomodoro's popularity is attributed to of course, the man himself, his team and his renowned archive of celebrity photographs.

Among the many standouts on the menu, the pizzas deserve special mention as each is listed as a celebrity's favourite, so there could be Sophia Loren's Napoli or Jack Nicholson's capricciosa with mozzarella, tomato, ham, egg, pepperoni sausage, olives and capers. The main course line up includes chilli con carne, chicken cooked in an Italian style curry sauce with herbs and spices, and grilled chicken breast made using a prized family recipe.

Evenings are a welcome moment at Ciro's Pizza Pomodoro with live music that keeps the crowd trickling in right through the night.
