A Special Evening with Francesco Live this Halloween Weekend
Looking for something special to do in London this Halloween weekend? On Sunday 1 November 2026, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm, Osteria by Bocconcino on the Strand welcomes singer Francesco Filizzola for an evening of live music over dinner, right in the heart of Covent Garden.
BOOK NOW Meet Francesco Filizzola
Francesco Filizzola is a singer you don't just listen to, you feel. His performances blend six distinct styles into one unforgettable evening:
Dolce Vita charm – the glamour of 1950s and 60s Italy, all sunshine, Vespas and romance
Operatic power – a voice with the strength and control to fill the room and raise the hairs on your arms
Rock 'n' roll extravaganza – swagger, rhythm and pure entertainment
Spanish-Latin fire – passionate, rhythmic songs that bring the heat of the Mediterranean
Lounge elegance – smooth, intimate crooning made for candlelight and a good glass of wine
Authentic Neapolitan flavour – the timeless songs of Naples, sung with real heart
The result is a set that moves effortlessly between moods, from a tender ballad over your antipasti to a full-voiced showstopper by dessert. Whether you're a lover of Italian classics, an opera fan or simply looking for great live music in London, Francesco brings warmth, theatre and a touch of Italian magic to the Strand.

Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October, so the whole weekend is alive with parties, ghost walks and spooky events across the capital. If you'd rather swap the fake blood for fresh pasta, a glass of Italian wine and a voice that can move from Naples to Seville to Las Vegas in a single song, this is your night.
We're a few minutes' walk from Covent Garden Piazza and surrounded by West End theatres, including the Lyceum (home of Disney's The Lion King), the Savoy Theatre (Paddington The Musical) and the Novello (Mamma Mia!). Come for dinner and a show, or make the music the main event.

The perfect pre-theatre night out in Covent Garden
he best West End evenings start long before curtain up. At Osteria by Bocconcino you can settle in for fresh pasta, Mediterranean seafood and Italian wines while Francesco sets the mood, then stroll to your theatre in minutes.
Our pre-theatre dining is designed around showtimes, so you can enjoy a relaxed dinner without watching the clock. Tell our team your curtain-up time when you book and we'll make sure you're out the door with time to spare.
Caught a Sunday matinee? Come to us afterwards instead. The 6.30pm start is perfectly timed for a post-show dinner, when you're still buzzing from the finale and ready for an encore of your own.
Not seeing a show at all? Live music, Italian food and the glow of Theatreland on a Sunday night is a night out in itself, and an easy, elegant alternative to the crowded Halloween parties.
