ALL MENUS

The late New Year's Eve sitting at Osteria by Bocconcino: four Italian courses from 9.15pm, £110, or £160 with bottomless Champagne.

The late sitting on Thursday 31 December seats guests at 366 Strand between 9.15pm and 9.45pm and carries dinner through to midnight. Four courses are £110 per person, or £160 with bottomless Champagne.

When midnight comes, the room counts down together and raises a glass of Champagne to 2027. The Thames, where London gathers for the fireworks, is a few minutes' walk away.

Two of the four mains are pasta made by hand in the open kitchen, the craft that won Osteria Best Handmade Pasta & Contemporary Italian Restaurant 2026 from LuxLife's Leaders Magazine. Bocconcino also holds Best Regional Italian Restaurant Group 2026 from the same title, and Best Hospitality Team 2026 from the British Restaurant Awards.

Four courses through to midnight

Every table starts with three small bites, with Cotechino, Lentils on Toast served alongside a Crispy Polenta Wafer and a Mini Squid Ink Risotto Arancino. A starter, a main and a dessert follow, each chosen from the menu.

For meat

Meat eaters can start with Beef Tagliata, charred radicchio and mosto cotto dressing, or the Beef Tartare on brioche with truffle mayonnaise and shaved truffle. The Rib-Eye follows with bordelaise sauce and truffle potato dauphinoise.

For fish

Sea Bass Carpaccio opens the fish route, dressed with puttanesca, olive crumb and lemon zest. For the main there is Pici with Drunken Octopus, or Halibut with artichokes, fondant potato and parsley sauce.

Without meat or fish

Burrata with roasted beetroot, caramelised figs and preserved lemon gel leads to Mushroom-Shaped Ravioli with ricotta, Swiss chard and porcini in butter sauce. Both contain cheese, so strict vegetarians should say so when ordering.

Desserts

The five desserts are Black Forest, Torta della Nonna, Lemon Glacier, Sour Cherry Tart and Neapolitan Pastiera.

Bottomless Champagne

The late sitting is the one with a bottomless Champagne option. With it, dinner is £160 per person, and without it £110. Tables are booked with the late sitting button on the New Year's Eve page, or by phone on 020 7499 4510.

Vegan and gluten-free dishes are prepared on request with at least 72 hours' notice before the reservation. Allergies should be raised with the server before ordering. A discretionary 12.5% service charge is added to the bill.

Earlier sittings

The same menu is served at 5pm and 7.15pm for £90 per person. Those dishes are described in full on the early sitting menu page.
