Bertorelli - Covent Garden
About Bertorelli - Covent Garden
Bertorelli's Covent Garden branch (there are 4 others) is a popular choice for those who want good old fashioned Italian food like Mamma used to make without an astronomical 21st century price tag. Bertorelli's used to be the sort of place your aunt took you to in the days when Italian food was considered rather racey. Nowadays, it’s popular for Pre Opera dinner: 2 courses £15.50, 3 courses £18.50.
