Burro

Trullo has been one of London’s most quietly beloved Italian restaurants since it opened in Islington in 2010, so when its chef-co-owner Conor Gadd finally struck out on his own, the anticipation was considerable. Burro is Gadd’s first solo venture, tucked into the intimate Floral Court in Covent Garden, and it carries all the warmth and generosity that made Trullo a destination, scaled up into something grander and more celebratory. The Belfast-born chef’s love affair with Italian food began at seventeen, travelling through Italy, and that early adoration shaped everything that followed — the name itself, meaning “butter” in Italian, is a statement of intent. The menu leans into classic Italian cookbooks and older references, with highlights including tagliarini with mussels and clams, whole lemon sole with prosecco and caviar, and tiramisu bomboloni to finish. The room, designed by Day Studio’s Lisa Helmanis, blends 1950s Italian trattoria with Irish country house kitchen, landing somewhere warm, elegant, and entirely its own.
