Amaranto, Four Seasons Hotel, Park Lane, London W1 | The ...

Somewhere between amorous and Esperanto, which is pretty apt for a low-lit, high-gloss new restaurant in an international hotel chain.

I guess this kind of cultural confusion – eating modern Italian food in a Chinese restaurant in central London – is something the business traveller takes in his stride: if it's Wednesday, this must be... oh, who cares, let's order.

It was unfortunate timing that Amaranto should have opened on the same day as Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, a restaurant in an international hotel chain which is thrillingly confident in its Britishness and doesn't leave you feeling that you've accidentally gatecrashed Fred the Shred's leaving do.

Tipping policy: "Service charge is 15per cent, of which 100 per cent goes to the staff; all tips go to the staff" The wild boar ragout and pumpkin ravioli are stand-out dishes at this new restaurant on the former site of Papillon.

Stefano Cavallini's northern Italian fare at this new Mayfair eaterie includes champagne risotto and mushroom flan with black truffles.

A Feast of Italian Food at Amaranto at Four Seasons Hotel London ...

Today Lauren and I were meeting at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane to sample the delicious Italian food on the menu at Amaranto, the hotel’s main restaurant.

Last time Lauren and I visited the hotel to sample the British Summertime Afternoon tea, it was the hottest day of the year…sadly the weather wasn’t quite what it was before and the pouring rain meant drinks in the Veuve Cliquot Secret Garden weren’t quite on the cards.

Lauren and I took out seats in the conservatory-like dining room and started with a glass of Veuve Cliquot whilst we enjoyed our view out to the hotel’s private garden.

Hotel restaurants can be a little uninspiring but for me Amaranto breaks the mould, Lauren and I absolutely loved the food served at the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane.

REVIEW: Amaranto, Four Seasons Hotel, Hamilton Place, Park Lane ...

Amaranto is an Italian restaurant which utilises lots of British ingredients, but splits its menu down the middle balancing out classic regional Italian dishes against British inspired ones.

What is it these days with restaurants putting fried duck eggs on their menus.

Parmesan fondue on the side had good flavour but the consistency wasn’t quite right and a little lumpy.

Parsley scented tonnarelli pasta with chunks of cod, black olive and a caper ragout.

The sauce had so much depth and flavour while little chunks of cod sporadically appeared in the mouth and those salty capers and black olives left for a tantalising affair.

The Four Season's Amaranto Restaurant – “Inside the Kitchen”

Combine the sophistication of London and Four Seasons Park Lane’s Executive Chef Adriano Cavagnini and you have culinary perfection.

Four Season’s star Chef Adriano created menu concepts for the Italian themed Amaranto restaurant, bar and lounge, along with all  private dining and catering.

The elegant  Four Season’s Amaranto Restaurant is a seamless series of integrated rooms, where you might dine on fresh pasta in the conservatory, enjoy a drink and night time menu at the bar, or sample my favorite “Six Sins “dessert.

Some of Chef’s mouth watering creations on the menu at the Four Season’s Amaranto Restaurant include homemade white onion and parmesan ravioli, green asparagus and horseradish,  saffron risotto with green peas and salmon roe for a first course, or perhaps a spaghetti salad with lobster, avocado and tomato for antipasti.

Since my “Blue Baker” got her name from loving to bake, Chef asked the pastry chef for a demonstration on how the decadent “Six Sins” dessert is created.

Amaranto restaurant review 2011 February London | Italian Cuisine ...

The pasta itself was rather too mushy in texture, the crab fresh enough but the artichoke flavour rather strong for the crab (13/20).

Citrus macaroons with orange and mango sorbets and a mango salad was a delightfully refreshing dessert, the macaroons skilfully made and the sorbets having both lovely texture and intense fruit flavour (17/20).

Coffee was high quality (as it should be at this price) and accompanied by high grade petit fours made from scratch by the pastry chef: rock biscuit, more macaroons, and vanilla butter biscuit and excellent chocolates were very classy (17/20).

Overall this was a meal of two parts, with the pastry chef producing excellent breads, desserts and petit fours that were far superior to the standard of the savoury dishes.

There seemed to me too many slips in the meal given the high prices charged, accentuated by the excessively marked up wine list, and the genuinely top end service could not entirely paper over the unevenness of standard in the cooking.

A suitably swish restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel on Park Lane, Amaranto offers an Italian a la carte menu alongside continental breakfasts and brunches.

The Lounge offers lighter bites, alongside coffees, teas, traditional afternoon teas and 'la dolce vita' - apparently London's first Italian afternoon tea.
