Aldo Zilli is one of London's most flamboyant restaurateurs. He is chef patron of the recently refurbished Signor Zilli Restaurant and Bar in Dean Street and Zilli Fish in Brewer Street. Great Italian food and Aldo's legendary sense of humour make these establishments a magnet for people from the media and entertainment world, as well as a celebrity haunt. In 1996 Signor Zilli was awarded Best Italian Restaurant in the London Restaurant Awards and in 1998 the restaurant also won Best Showbiz Restaurant in the Capital Radio Awards. Having just celebrated their tenth anniversary, both the restaurant and bar have recently been refurbished, taking on a lighter but still classic Italian feel. The dining room is intimate, with a clever lend of formal luxury. In spite of this, the atmosphere remains friendly. The dining area downstairs now boasts a stunning fish tank - this area can also be used for private functions. Aldo says: "I love being with people and looking after them and take great pleasure in cooking for them." This is the place where you can indulge yourself in good, upmarket authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Soho and Theatreland. The high quality menu features food from Tuscany and classic Italian dishes such as veal milanese with spaghetti and tomato or smoked mozzarella wrapped in Parma ham. But there is also more inventive Italian fare, such as seared king scallops with sautéed spinach and garlic, or the famous spaghetti with lobster. Desserts include coffee and Tia Maria mousse, zabaglione and a delicious authentic tiramisu. If you are still after something sweet, why not round off the meal with a glass of Vin Santo and some Catuccini biscuits. It is light, imaginative and in good quantity. Daily specials, vegetarian dishes, pre- and post-theatre menus are also available. There is also a new, well balanced wine list that covers the most important new and old world wine producing regions, yet specialises in Italian wines such as Pinot Grigio Isonzo, G Puiatti and cannonau Riserva, Sella e Mosca. The bar next door is a buzzy rendezvous - it is very friendly and always packed, offering snacks throughout the day as well as a full à la carte menu. Al fresco dining is a popular feature and customers can expect full waiter service from staff who treat all their customers with the usual Italian charm.
