Mezzogiorno

Mezzogiorno opened in June 2026 at Whitehall Place, SW1A 2BD, inside Corinthia London’s Northall bar, Francesco Mazzei’s southern-Italian kitchen with an open pass and a communal oval table facing the cooks. Condé Nast Traveller filed it among the new London restaurants to try this summer: handmade pasta, Orkney scallops, battuta di manzo with black truffle, a T-bone, tiramisu sent family-style. Corinthia’s own page holds the book.

The little-known fact is the name. Mezzogiorno is midday in Italian, the hour when the southern sun is hardest, not a hotel lunch label; Mazzei is cooking Calabria and Sicily in a Whitehall palace rather than a trattoria on a side street. @mezzogiornobyfrancescomazzei is the live camera. The pasta is why you go; Whitehall Place is why it feels like London.
