Manuele Bazzoni to open Italian restaurant in Kings Cross
Magenta will offer a modern Italian menu with subtle British influences that ‘highlights the best of the seasons.’
Dishes will include Dorset crab, crispy cannelloni and Amalfi lemon gel; roasted seabass, potato crust, courgette flower and mussels; and fermented cauliflower with black garlic, girolles and cocoa butter.
Wines, spirits, and cocktails will complement the food offering and celebrate Italy’s regions.
Designed by Henry Chebaane, the 66-cover restaurant is described as having a cosmopolitan feel with a long theatrical bar taking centre stage.
Chebaane has drawn on a colour palette inspired by coal, concrete, and steel of the industrial revolution, accented by the magenta of its by-product.
Butterflies adorn the ceiling displaying a ‘subtle reminder to capture and enjoy the fleeting moments’ with guests seated on hand-built tables adorned with real vine leaves.
