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.

The room centres around a stunning round table that seats up to 15 guests, creating an ideal atmosphere for executive meetings, client lunches, celebratory dinners, or special occasions where conversation and connection are key. The round table setup encourages a natural flow of conversation, making it equally suited to both corporate and social events.

The Ante Chamber boasts original period detailing, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light, creating a warm and sophisticated backdrop for any occasion. Despite its proximity to the main restaurant, the room feels secluded and self-contained, offering a private dining experience without losing the vibrancy of the wider venue.

Guests dining in the Ante Chamber enjoy access to Piazza Italiana’s award-winning Italian cuisine, proudly recognised with two AA Rosettes. Menus can be tailored to suit your event — from refined business breakfasts to multi-course banquets — and are complemented by an extensive wine list, classic cocktails, and flawless service.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate business meeting, a private celebration, or a stylish networking lunch, the Ante Chamber Private Dining Room provides the perfect blend of character, exclusivity, and world-class hospitality, all in the heart of the City of London.
