Cecconi's Description

Enzo Cecconi - the youngest ever general manager of the famous Cipriani restaurant in Venice - came to London in 1978 and opened Cecconi's.

For the first time the Londoners had a chance to try fresh pasta, beef carpaccio, tiramisu, rocket, or Bellini cocktails. Enzo Cecconi believed in spectacular food and spectacular service. He brought theatre in to the restaurant, finishing guests' dishes in front of their eyes and showing them the magic of the food, which until that point had been kept behind the closed doors of the kitchen.
