Bella Cosa, which opened last week, brings Italian food with a Japanese flair to the South Quay of Canary Wharf, London.
Executive chef Kentaro Torii, renowned by critics in the US and Italy, is serving his signature contemporary Italian dishes with Japanese flair and presentation for the first time in the UK. His culinary style combines generations of Italian traditions with modern techniques, as well as Japanese rigour and precision.
Kentaro is working alongside an Italian kitchen brigade, serving dishes such as seasonal risottos; grilled octopus, smoked potato puree, five cheese ravioli, suckling pig cheek, and baby cuttlefish in black ink.
The dishes are made of high-quality fresh seasonal produce, with significant PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin) ingredients imported from Italy. The dishes are presented in a neat, unfussy, yet original and modern way.
Designed by Italian interior designer Francesco Pizza, the chic interior is spread over two floors including a glass-fronted mezzanine area.
