Bocca Di Lupo

A phrasebook in miniature, containing a taste of the twenty main dialects of Italian cuisine. We update our menu twice a day, as we try to keep up with the changing seasons.

Black truffles are available from Gelupo across the road - look for T on the menu for perfect pairing dishes.

Enjoy our monthly changing lunch & pre-theatre menu, available 12:00–6:30pm, Monday to Friday. Or join us post-show from 9:30pm to try any wine (up to £300) by the glass.

The restaurant is open until midnight Monday-Saturday, see our wine & drinks menus below.

Private Dining

Our private dining room is a warm and sumptuous setting for any party. It can accommodate up to thirty two persons seated, forty five standing, and is always served by its own chef in a dedicated, adjacent kitchen.

The room has been fully redecorated with a fresh colour palette, marble panelling, and wonderfully wild wall paintings by our friend and artist Stewart Helm. They depict mythical creatures embracing their animal instincts and the joy of indulging in food and wine, serving as a mirror to Soho's diners.

Our feasting menus below are changed monthly, with the seasons, and we delight in designing individual menus on special request.

For when you’re hungry
like the wolf

"If I can just pick at a little of everything, in the end I will have eaten despite the fact that I'm not hungry."
Salvo Montalbano

Jacob Kenedy and Victor Hugo opened BOCCA in November 2008.

The restaurant has since received various awards and accolades for its stripped-down, honest regional Italian cuisine.

We specialise in the obscure and the delicious highlights of food and wine from all across Italy's twenty regions. If we can make something ourselves, we do - gelati, breads, sausages, salame, pickles, mostarda, and pasta of course - the rest is carefully sourced from Italy.

Despite the buzzy feel and glamorous surroundings, we are a family business, a small and humble trattoria at… heart.

‘Jacob Kenedy is almost a prodigy.’

Fay Maschler - Evening Standard

“This is a place where your mum will be charmed by the maitre’d and be recommended (and served) a glass of wine before you’ve even said hello to anyone. She’s bound to like that, and she’s bound to like the pastas and Bocca’s truffled radish salad even more."

The Infatuation

"If I'm sounding excited by the food, you should have seen... the wine list."

Richard Vines - Bloomberg

“This is a brilliant restaurant - it does classic Italian with a twist, and I admire the way [chef patron] Jacob Kenedy puts the menu together, with dishes of various sizes from different regions.”

Theo Randall

“If you can, bag a couple of spots at the marble-topped counter of this smart and shiny hotspot and then eat your way through Italy’s most delicious regional dishes.”

Conde Nast Traveller

“In bocca al lupo is the equivalent of break a leg in Italian. But you won’t need any luck here,because the supremely cosy, intimate decor, perfectly chosen wine list and personal chef knocking up your sumptuous Italian fare will do all the hard work for you.”

The Nudge

“Bocca Di Lupo has always been one of the capital’s most glamorous restaurants and, post glow-up, it’s now just dazzling.”
