About Bianchetto

Slip into a low-lit Manhattan booth for bespoke cocktails and Sicilian plates that set the tone for an unhurried night. Tucked along Cotham Road, this moody Kew lounge feels like an insider secret. Regulars stop in for an aperitivo before dinner next door or claim a banquette for the evening. The bar turns out tailored pours alongside warm olives infused with cinnamon vermouth and briny freshly shucked oysters. Order the spiced beef carpaccio with crunchy glazed nuts, comforting duck gnocchi, and a scoop of tray-served tiramisu.

  • Moody booth seating: Low lighting, cosy Manhattan-style booths, and a relaxed pace designed for pre-dinner drinks or settling in for the night.
