Accessed either through the Hyde Park hotel or via Tortello’s own private street entrance, the restaurant will serve regional Italian dishes and hand-rolled pasta.
Dishes on the launch menu will include tortello di zucca - delica pumpkin tortelli served with brown butter, Modena balsamic and toasted Piedmont hazelnuts; beef shin and chianti tortello; seafood calamarata made with langoustine, Scottish clams, Dorset mussels and king prawns; and pici with mussels and cavolo nero.
Overlooking the Italian Gardens of Hyde Park, the 80-cover dining room will feature a hand-painted vineyard mural, a walkway lined with olive trees and aromatic herbs, and a pistachio-green 1960s Fiat 500.
The restaurant will open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.
