Osteria Restaurant Opening - Friends and Family invite

From the BEO on behalf of the Barbican Centre:

____

Osteria is launching at the Barbican with a  'soft opening' 1^st to 10^th February

We would love to welcome you to Osteria from 1^st February. An invite is attached and below. Please note the dinner sitting on 10^th February is already fully booked.

Osteria is a new restaurant created by Searcys in collaboration with Anthony Demetre and will specialise in bold, ingredient-focussed Italian cooking. Led by Head Chef Patrick Leano, formerly of the Michelin starred Arbutus in Soho, menus will change regularly, with a focus on Italian produce and seasonality.

In the bar, cocktails will focus on Italian classics such as Negronis and Bellinis. The wine list will include famous Barolos or Supertuscans plus an intriguing line-up of indigenous varieties and new generation winemakers from Puglia, Sicily and Sardinia.

Both the restaurant and bar will have a stunning new look and part of the space will be given over to exhibiting work of exciting artists, linking the restaurant to the cultural heritage of the Barbican Centre. The first artist to showcase their work in Osteria will be German-born Cornelia Baltes who studied at The Slade and will also be exhibiting at the Limoncello gallery in London from 14^th January to mid-February.
