A Summer Fish Extravaganza At Frontline 1st August!

Charlotte, Cesare, Rohan and I are back at Frontline in Paddington on Sunday 1st August with a fish extravaganza- so if you aren't on holiday, come and join us! Or forward this on to a friend... We love new people...

One of our favourite dishes is Cesare's seafood pasta which we only get when he is coming straight up from Grosseto Market. Silence descends on the table as we suck the juices out of the shells and mop the plate clean of all the tomato sauce. To keep things light we are having a chilled zucchini, almond and saffron soup to start and a surprise pudding...

We have decided to cut back to one lunch sitting so that things can be a little more relaxed- and once the club is full, we will add more tables downstairs.

Lunch (1pm for 1:30) and Dinner 7:30 for 8pm
Prices dependant on the Market Price (but not more than £35)
Charlotte's Zucchini, Almond and Saffron Soup
Cesare's Seafood Extravaganza with Spaghetti, Tuscan Bread
Salad with the Secret Potentino Dressing
Surprise Pudding

We will have some of the new season olive oil as well.

Great news! Charlotte, Cesare, Rohan and I are going to be hosting our first pop-up restaurant at Frontline in Paddington on 25th April. 


The idea is to create a typical Potentino lunch and dinner even if we aren't sitting under the loggia looking up at Monte Amiata with Coco and Messy playing in the courtyard or sitting by the fire in the kitchen playing Scopa...

All our ingredients will come from Monte Amiata or from Frontline's Farm in Norfolk. Since we can't be sure what will look good in the market, we have put together a few sample menus to whet your appetite.

Lunch Sitting 2- 2:30 for 3:00pm £20 NOW SOLD OUT
