About this space

The Ante Chamber Private Dining Room at Piazza Italiana offers an elegant and intimate setting, perfect for smaller gatherings that demand a refined and memorable experience. Located just off the main dining hall, this beautifully appointed space reflects the grandeur of our Grade II listed building while providing complete privacy for you and your guests.

At the heart of the room is a striking round table that seats up to 15 guests, ideal for executive meetings, client lunches, celebratory dinners, and special occasions where conversation and connection take centre stage. The layout naturally encourages discussion, making it a favourite for both corporate and social events.

The Ante Chamber features original period detailing, lofty ceilings, and abundant natural light — all contributing to a warm yet sophisticated backdrop. Though adjacent to the main restaurant, the room feels tucked away, offering a private experience while still capturing the energy of the venue.

Guests enjoy Piazza Italiana’s award-winning Italian cuisine, honoured with two AA Rosettes for excellence. Our menus showcase seasonal ingredients and authentic regional recipes, available as curated set-menus or bespoke packages — whether you’re hosting a refined breakfast, long lunch, or indulgent evening meal. Wine pairings, classic cocktails, and flawless service complete the experience.

Looking ahead to the holiday season? The Ante Chamber is ideal for intimate Christmas lunches and festive dinners in a beautifully private space. Set-menus start from £79pp and can be tailored to suit your group’s needs — from relaxed client entertaining to end-of-year celebrations with your team.

About Piazza Italiana

Piazza Italiana is a spectacular Grade II listed venue in the heart of the City of London, housed in the former British Linen Bank on Threadneedle Street. With its soaring ceilings, ornate pillars, intricate cornicing and luxurious atmosphere, it offers an unforgettable backdrop for private events, corporate dining, and special celebrations.

Recognised with two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, Piazza Italiana delivers a refined Italian dining experience rooted in authentic recipes, seasonal ingredients, and flawless service. An extensive wine list and bespoke cocktail selection further elevate every occasion — from working lunches and networking receptions to elegant evening events and exclusive venue hires.

The venue is impressively versatile, offering a collection of beautifully designed spaces to suit events of all sizes. The Main Dining Hall impresses with its scale and grandeur, perfect for large dinners or standing receptions. The Mezzanine level, overlooking the main hall, provides a semi-private setting ideal for breakfasts, drinks receptions or networking events. For more intimate gatherings, the Ante Chamber Private Dining Room seats up to 15 guests around a central round table, while the Mezzanine Private Dining Room offers a stylish, L-shaped layout ideal for private meals, meetings, or relaxed standing drinks.

Piazza Italiana can host seated events for up to 230 guests and standing receptions for up to 350. Full and partial hire options are available, with support from our experienced events team to tailor every detail — including AV, entertainment, and bespoke menus.
