Banca Ristorante Italiano Brings Italian Glamour to Mayfair this Valentine’s Day

Acclaimed Italian restaurant Banca is bringing the romance and glamour of Milan to their prestigious Mayfair locale this February, with the launch of its luxurious Valentine’s Day menus.

Diners can choose from a three or four course traditional Italian set menu, which fuses fresh, seasonal and authentic ingredients including oysters, caviar and truffles - ingredients that have long been associated with aphrodisiac properties. Each course has been carefully devised, to take guests on a sensual pleasure journey of fine food and drink.

Banca is the ultimate romantic restaurant for those who enjoy the finer things in life. On arrival, guests will be presented with a glass of champagne, followed by oysters. You and your special someone can then expect dishes including Warm Fassona Beef Carpaccio with Norcia’s Black Truffle, Saffron Risotto, Grilled Beef Fillet with Aged Balsamic of Modena or Sea Bass Carpaccio with Avocado, Lime & Belgian Caviar, and a dessert choice of Chocolate Fondant with Raspberry Heart and Madagascar Vanilla Sauce or Coffee and Petit Fours – all presented in a beautiful dining room by waiters providing the highest service.

Banca is offering guests the choice of two seatings: 7pm (three course menu at £80) or 9pm (four course menu at £110).

Billed as London’s most glamorous Italian restaurant, Banca’s luxurious interior lends itself to this intimate occasion. With ambient lighting and tasteful décor, Banca is the perfect venue for a stylish and unforgettable Valentine’s Day.

The restaurant features separate hot and cold bars with an array of hanging charcuterie and cheeses, as well as a traditional bread oven where diners can watch their food being prepared. The long bar serves fine wines and specialises in Italian cocktails such as Negroni, Aperol Spritz, Bellinis and a range of special Italian spirits.
