Review by Piers from London
cost per head=£28.50 for three courses without drinks
A group of us came to Latium on a Tuesday night for a business dinner. We were pretty much the only table in the whole restaurant all night so i was glad I had not come here for a meal for two - we would have been whispering all night!
Latium is definitely at the higher end of the Italian restaurant experience - the restaurant is pristine and the service is excellent.
Menu wise, there is a huge selection of Raviolo (the chef's speciality) and around 8-10 starters and mains to choose from. I went for the pumpkin ravioli to start with, which was delicious and followed it up with Fegato di vitello arrosto con salsa alle cipolle di tropea, gnocchi alla romana e funghi misti (roast calves liver)(yes I copied it from the website). This too was very good.
Fish lovers will enjoy the selection too: Capesante e gamberi in padella con cozze ed orzo perlato
Dive scallops and tiger prawns pan fried with mussels and barley
Filetto di spigola selvatica in padella con involtino di porri e gamberi, salsa al pomodoro fresco e basilico
Pan fried fillet of wild sea bass with leeks and prawns parcel, tomato and basil sauce
Filetto di tonno alla griglia con purea di carciofi e couscous alle vongole
Grilled fillet of tuna with artichokes sauce, and couscous with clams
Coda di rospo arrosto con verza e salsa alle rape rosse
Roast monkfish with savoy cabbage and beetroot sauce
I didn't pay the bill so I can't tell you what the average cost per head was, but I would guess at around £55 per head, which would be good value in my book.
If you enjoy mixing the celebs then the Sanderson is right opposite for a pre or post cocktail.
All in all, a good restaurant to keep in your back pocket when entertaining.
