Located on the south-east corner of Sloane Square, this elegant Italian restaurant and bar has quickly become one of London’s most sought-after tables. Created by Martin Kuczmarski, the restaurateur behind The Dover, Martino’s has the same instinct for atmosphere: polished, intimate and just the right side of impossible to book. It is chic without trying too hard, with crisp white tablecloths, low-lit warmth and classic Italian cooking.

It is the place for long lunches, late dinners, intimate celebrations and the kind of spontaneous drink that turns into the best part of the night.
