Bringing La Dolce Aqua to Sloane Street, Azzurra offers a refreshing take on Italian dining with its “boat-to-table” philosophy – serving fresh, high-quality seafood in an atmosphere that feels effortlessly elegant. The restaurant’s award-winning interior, inspired by the tranquil beauty of the Amalfi Coast, sets the stage for a menu that combines Mediterranean flavours with refined simplicity.
Amongst all of this class, it’s hard to believe the cost of Menu Fisso, an exceptional set menu priced at just £30 or £36 per person. In a neighbourhood where fine dining often comes with a steep bill, this offering delivers outstanding value without compromising on quality.
Delivering More Than Expected
Kick things off with your choice of Antipasti, where classic Italian flavours shine. The Fritto Misto, a crispy medley of calamari, veg and other seafood, pairs perfectly with a rich roasted garlic mayo, offering a satisfying crunch and depth of flavour that partners with a cold crisp glass of white. For something lighter, the Salmon with ginger and white sesame provides a fresh, delicate start with the right touch of zest.
Moving to the Primi Piatti, the Branzino, a beautifully cooked sea bass fillet served alongside a sweet and tangy caponata and salsa vergine, perfectly captures the restaurant’s coastal inspiration. Meanwhile, the Malloreddus al Polpo, a Sardinian pasta dish with tender octopus, chili, and tomato, brings a rich, comforting warmth balanced by the creamy sharpness of Capo Caccia cheese. It’s the kind of dish that keeps you coming back for more.
The Sweetest Finish
For dessert, Azzurra’s Hazelnut Tiramisu steals the show. Combined tableside, it blends creamy mascarpone with espresso-soaked biscuits and toasted hazelnuts, adding an interactive touch to the dining experience and ensuring the meal ends on a high note.
At Azzurra, great food speaks for itself – no gimmicks, just honest, well-executed dishes that deliver exceptional value. The Menu Fisso strikes the perfect balance between quality and affordability, making it an easy choice whether you’re planning a casual lunch or an intimate dinner. With bold flavours, fresh seafood, and a touch of coastal charm, it’s a refreshing reminder that fine dining doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
