#FLODown: La Goccia Petersham Nurseries
The latest hang out spot from Petersham Nurseries, La Goccia, does not fall short from the expected exquisite interiors and beautiful blooms. This relaxing spot features a wood-fired oven and will serve you up Italian ‘cicchetti’ which is essentially small plates. La Goccia sources their meat, fruit and vegetables from Hayes farm and buys their fish directly from the docks. All the produce that you eat here is fresh and seasonal – sustainability is a key part of their brand.
Tucked away off the busy streets of Covent Garden, you can enjoy your food either al-fresco or inside the beautiful restaurant itself. The garden features gigantic terracotta pots, stylish wrought iron furniture and lots and lots of greenery. Also on offer at La Goccia are pasta making workshops, cocktail masterclasses and wine tasting sessions.
WHAT TO EAT?
The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner. Some of their dishes include, lemon sole, salsa verde with tomatoes, sage and caciocavallo arancini antipasti, pan-fried mackerel with courgettes.
From the ‘all day menu’:
Fried sage anchovy with lemon
Price: £6
Burrata with tomatoes, chilli and mint
Price: £11
We are obsessed with arancini and so we love the sharing set menu. Enjoy the selection of tomatoes, salad, black olives and cheeses. Or from the wood-fired oven and garden, why not try the confit of duck with parsley. And for dessert delicious poached plums with buffalo yoghurt ice cream.
Price: £29.50
