You know I am a fashion blogger but you also know I love food. Last week I was invited to join some other bloggers to dine in this newly opened fine dining Italian restaurant in Mayfair. Ristorante Frescobaldi met all my expectations and everything from the deco to staff and food was at a very high level. So after work I changed my business blazer to more sparkly number and put on my loubis and headed over to Mayfair to this new gem.
The decoration has got very sleek but very cosy style and as you can see there are some fabulous paintings on the wall. The place also has got great downstairs area where our evening started. You know that if you give me bubbles and cheese I have a big smile on my face and it was not just about cheese as we got to try some fantastic canapes with delicious pate and mushroom and truffle. Oh, heaven…in one word.
We had tasty three course meal which I am definitely not used to on weekdays however it was so good that I just had to keep going. Each course was served with different wine. The starter was very light Beetroot salad with watercress and pistachio served with crispy fresh Pomino Bianco 2013
The main course was right up my street as I love pasta and I love lobster and this dish was light and perfectly seasoned. It was also served with very interesting wine with even more interesting colour of copper – Attems Ramato 2013.
And for some people dessert is the most popular part of the meal. Well I loved it and the wine Vinsanto Naturale 2007 was my favourite that evening. It went perfectly with this apple and walnut tart and cinnamon ice-cream.
I am definitely coming to this place again as it has got great food, great wine and very warm feel. The only thing is that I ate so much that I had no room for cofee or tea after. Next time I will be prepared (maybe drink just water all day long..LOL)
You should definitely try this Italian place and you can find it at 15 New Burlington Place. If you are having a dinner be prepared to pay around 60 £ per head and for lunch probably around 40 £. However, it is worth every penny so put on your sexy shoes and sparkly dress and treat yourself to a fabulous meal.

Vite, ze jsem spise modni blogerka, ale tim jak mam rada jidlo, tak jsem casto zvana na akce, ktere jsou s jidlem spojene. Musim priznat, ze si vubec nestezuju, az do te doby nez nemuzu dopnout kalhoty. Tentokrat jsem byla pozvana na otevreni nove restaurance Frescobaldi, ktera se nachazi na Mayfair. Vetsina blogeru, ktera se mnou byla na tento vyborne veceri sve blogy soustredi spise na jidlo. Trosku jsem si pridala, ze jejich znalosti, co se tyce jidla a vina jsou mnohem vyssi…ale co uz nadelam, ja mozna zase vim o jinych vecech.
Restaurace ma krasny design, velmi cisty, hodne dreva, ale vytvari zaroven velmi utulny prostor. A diky tradici vina v Italii uz od ctrnacteho stoleti ma i skvelou nabidku vin. Nas vecer zacal v prizemi, kde se nachazi mensi bar a velmi utulny krb a sezeni vhodne na privatni akce. Ten usmev mi vykouzlilo sampanske a take vyborny syr. A nezustalo to jenom u toho. Jeste pred veceri jsme ochutnala vyborne chutovky s lanyzem a take pastikou.
Nase vecere mela tri chody (kdo ma pak zhubnout ze?) a ke kazdemu chodu bylo jine vino. Jako predkrm jsme meli salat z cervene repy s pistaciema a k nemu velmi svezi a lehke vino Pomino Bianco 2013. Jako hlavni chod testoviny s humrem a k nim velmi zajimave vino, ktere melo neobvyklou rezavou barvu Attems Ramato 2013. A samozrejme nesmel chybet vynikajici desert v podobe dortu s jablky a orechy s domaci skoricovou zmrzlinou. Jeste ted se mi sbihaji sliny. A vino bylo take desertni a rekla bych, ze to bylo to nejlepsi z celeho vecer – Vinsanto Naturale 2007. Proste uzasny vecer plny dobrot a vynikajicich drinku.
Priznam se, ze na muj vkus, kdyz nejsem ve vsedni dny zvykla na velke vecere, jsem jedla opravdu moc a tak uz jsem nebyla do sobe dostat ani caj nebo kavu. Ale opet jsem potkala spousty novych lidi, ktere opet rada uvidim a do restaurace se urcite vratim.
Pokud mate chut az budete v Londyne tohle misto vyzkouset, tak se pripravte, ze na veceri utratite asi 40 £ na osobu a na veceri 60 a tohle misto najdete na 15 New Burlington Place, Mayfair.
Doufam, ze vam bude chutnat tak jako me.
