La Tagliata is opening its second restaurant in Fitzrovia with Shelley Sandzer

A specialist in UK leisure property agency, Shelley Sandzer, has secured a prominent corner position in Fitzrovia for Italian restaurant, La Tagliata.

With the new restaurant set to open in November 2017, Shelley Sandzer is to take adjacent units on the corner of Whitfield Street and Grafton Way, formerly leased to Sardo Cucina and Sardo respectively.

The new restaurant will comprise 1,550 sq ft on the ground floor level and 1,800 sq ft in the basement, with space for 60 covers in the restaurant and 23 at a wine bar serving an alternative menu.

Commenting on the deal, Etai Page at Shelley Sandzer, said: “We are thrilled to have acquired this corner location in one of London’s most vibrant dining scenes for our client.

“Shelley Sandzer has a track record of helping independent brands develop their portfolio in London and we are pleased to act in this capacity once again. The popular area of Fitzrovia boats an impressive tenant mix, and we are confident that La Tagliata will feel right at home.”

Designed by Italian owners Lorenzo and Carlo, the interior will reflect that of a classic Italian villa, featuring a series of separate rooms and original contemporary artwork to make guests feel at home and to replicate the ambience of the first La Tagliata restaurant in London.

Translated as ‘The Cut’, La Tagliata’s name is a nod to the brand’s signature dish of sliced sirloin steak on rocket, tomatoes and parmesan shavings with a balsamic glaze.

The authentic Italian menu will also offer a selection of breads, antipasti and handmade pastas, all prepared using seasonal ingredients. This is to be the brand’s second location, following its debut in Spitalfields.

The directors at La Tagliata, Carlo and Lorenzo, added: “Shelley Sandzer fully understood our needs and utilised their expert knowledge of the area and the industry to secure this sought-after spot for our second restaurant.

“At La Tagliata, we have a desire to offer the true taste of Italy in an intimate, homely setting, and we are thrilled to expand and continue this in such a fantastic location.”
