The House of Peroni residency is returning to London for the month of May to Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Holborn. The House will bring the new wave of Italian creative talent from the worlds of food, drink, fashion and design to the capital.
With a fresh selection of pioneering Italian chefs, mixologists and designers, The House will take over and transform all four floors of a beautiful townhouse into a tantalising, immersive world of fashion forward, design-led Italian style and culture for everyone to enjoy.
With award-winning architect and co-designer of the Enzo Ferrari museum Andrea Morgante at the helm, The House takes guests on a journey into the cutting-edge world of Italian style. In May, The House will be inspired by 1963; a transformative year when Italian style became renowned across the world and the year that Carlo Peroni created Peroni Nastro Azzurro.
The House will feature a stunning third floor restaurant overlooking a picturesque part of the city as well as a convivial outdoor terrace serving a selection of dishes from Monday to Saturday. The menu for May will consist of classic Italian dishes reinvented by Italian culinary collective Bottega Wapping – led by Creative Director Lorenzo di Francesco and Head Chef Daniele Miconi – whose fun and imaginative menus have earned them a cult following in London’s East end.
From Friday 2nd May, The House will be open to the public and guests can immerse themselves in design and fashion, enjoying stunning bespoke creations from the likes of sculptographer Daniele Papuli and design duo Carnovsky.
Throughout the month, The House will feature an exciting weekly schedule of stylish Italian events which will include:
Dining in Multicolour: Inspired by the explosion in colour photography of 1963 – the year Polaroid began manufacturing colour film – this unique dining experience is a sensory extravaganza of stimulating flavour and colour. The entire room, right down to the cutlery, will be a dizzying rainbow of multicolour and will form the backdrop to an equally colourful feast prepared by The House of Peroni’s resident chefs Bottega Wapping, whose inspiration for the menu derives from the Red Green Blue model of colour used in photography and electronic systems.
The Art of Gelato: Discover the surprising history of Italian dessert, Gelato, in this artisan-led masterclass. From the ancient sorbettiera to the latest machine technology, the makers of GINO Gelato will teach you all there is to know about the famed frozen dessert.
