TOZI London Restaurant & Bar review | Big City, Little Nurse

After being reassured the chef at TOZI London has been in place for two years since opening, all waiters and waitresses are Italian and the food is of the highest quality we made a booking.

We actually passed the restaurant’s private dining room, a gorgeous open plan space with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and commented on how amazing that restaurant looked not knowing it was part of TOZI’s venue.

We decided to go for a mix of hot and cold dishes, and chose calamari fritti, tuna tartare, spianata (like pizza, without the tomato base), salame, black truffle ricotta ravioli, scallops and piedina (like a quesadilla, with meats and cheeses).

The calamari was cooked perfectly, and although I’m not a huge melanzane fan after being force-fed it in Sicily for about three weeks because it was in season and apparently everyone decide to plant aubergine on their land that year, but the flatbread was gorgeous.

The private dining area seats 18, and I can imagine it’s a great space to book for friends or family wanting a relaxed evening.

REVIEW: TOZI Restaurant & Bar, Victoria | London | My Baba

But the ‘dessert-to-go’ option — because you’ve got to get home for the kids — seemed strange.

The pasta dishes were ushered in, first introducing ricotta ravioli with black truffle.

Next, braised ox cheek with mash and wild mushroom arrives and squeezes itself onto our table now full of half-finished plates (aside from the signature ravioli – that was licked clean and spirited away).

Saddened that the offer expires this Sunday, TOZI’s parent date night compounded a wealth of Venetian and classic Italian dishes.

The restaurant really tapped into the terrible truth that parents don’t have much time to themselves, so rolled a selection of their fantastic dishes into one dining experience.

TOZI Restaurant & Bar, Victoria – The Edible Woman

The menu is a long list of sharing plates, split into sections spanning everything from wood oven dishes and fritti to pasta and counter dishes like meat and cheese.

It’s often daunting to start ordering plates for two when you don’t quite know the eating habits of your fellow diner and there’s always the threat of a table-full of wall-to-wall meat dishes or six servings of salad.

Our italian feasting banquet started flowing with tomato smeared pizzetti topped with mozzarella, and slivers of highly-flavoured salami piccante; fried baby soft shell crabs dripping with olive oil and scattered with red chillis and violently green parsley sauce; petal-thin folds of Coppa marbled with fine veins of white fat; berry-stained hunks of cheese and delicate pasta puffs, all washed down by a full-blooded burgundy-hued Barbera, which was recommended by the waiter and that swept me half way to The Rialto with the words of Italian-loving Keats ringing in my ears.

Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, The Testun al Barolo – cow’s cheese aged in Barolo grapes – was exceptional, as were the much-feted gratinated scallops…although I must admit that it was the thought of my commute back over the murky waters of the Thames and Vauxhall Bridge rather than a gondola ride through the Venetian waterways that was at the forefront of my mind while I ate them.

This dish of soft, golden pillows of perfectly-cooked pasta with a feather-light filling that arrived swimming in a bowl of butter had an eye-bogglingly generous heap of shaved black truffles balancing on top.

Fay Maschler reviews Tozi | London Evening Standard

Tozi the restaurant — in a location straining every sinew not to seem part of the Park Plaza hotel in Victoria — seems to have assembled its in-house gang from venues launched by Nick Jones.

Soho House and Shoreditch House feature in the CVs of chefs Daniele Pampagnin and Maurilio Molteni and the cicchetti concept — here on offer all day — was something Pampagnin worked on at Cecconi’s.

The wood- (actually gas-) fired oven is used for flat breads from simple bruschetta with tomato, garlic and basil, to the more lavish spianata, a puffy oval base cradling chunks of roasted aubergine, pancetta and ricotta in an embrace as fond as an Italian nonna.

Nonna, mamma, good-time girl that I am, it strikes me as equally enjoyable to be served sublime rosemary-flecked roasted potatoes by sweet enthusiastic Velio from Sardinia as to listen to robots singing opera during a 12-course meal with wine pairings, flash cards and video presentation — the culinary happening devised by this year’s Number One, El Celler de Can Roca in Girona.

Eating Out: TOZI Italian Restaurant, London • Surf4Hub News and ...

A Venetian Italian restaurant, offering comfort, good service, and delicious cicchetti (tapas-style) food.

The menu is quite large, and there’s something for every taste.

Favourites from the menu include the coated cauliflower with truffle mayo (most probably the best thing to happen to a cauliflower), Buffalo ricotta ravioli with black truffle, and the 31 day aged rib of beef with rosemary and garlic.

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was spot on – friendly and helpful, but not too intrusive.

I’m looking forward to going back and treating the menu like an i-SPY book – ticking each item off as I go!

Tozi | Restaurants in Victoria, London

There's a focus on the food of Veneto at this Italian restaurant and bar in Victoria, with cicchetti playing a lead role.

The food is complemented by an all-Italian wine list, Venetian aperitivi and classic Italian cocktails.

Large plates such as lobster linguine or char-grilled whole wild sea bass do feature, but it's mostly about the small plates here.

Expect dishes such as bruschetta with squash, dried tomatoes and goat's cheese, pizzettas, lamb sweetbreads with salsa verde and soft shell crab with red chilli and parsley sauce.

Charcuterie boards and pasta dishes prove popular, too.
