Corinthia London recently announced a partnership with Chef Francesco Mazzei to launch an Italian restaurant in the hotel, slated to debut in summer 2025. The new eatery will take over what is currently The Northall, situated with direct corner access and boasting high ceilings and large windows in London’s Westminster.

“I am so happy to be able to create a restaurant with Francesco and the team here at the hotel, which will be for Londoners and hotel guests alike. Francesco’s personality and his spectacular Italian food will be irresistible for sure,” said Thomas Kochs, managing director, Corinthia London.
Calabrian-born Mazzei had his first professional experience working in his uncle’s gelateria, mastering Italian cakes and gelato by the age of 9. He has since worked in 5-star hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Recently, he was working at Corinthia Palace in Malta.
“Since my last ventures in London, I had been searching for the right opportunity, so when the prospect to open here at Corinthia London presented itself, I was delighted. It is the perfect location for me to showcase the most beautiful, classic Italian cooking that I am so excited to share. I am also thrilled to be in great company, working alongside the hotel’s other partners, Tom Kerridge and Salvatore Calabrese,” said Mazzei.
