What better way to bite into Halloween celebrations than gliding through a time warp into the eerily decorated Baroque Grand Ballroom of a bygone era filled with fright-ready revellers enjoying a ghoulishly good feast? Enter, if you dare, into Piazza Italiana’s Bottomless Halloween Brunch fest.
Hot off the success of the showstopping City venue’s lively bottomless brunch weekends, Saturday 28thOctober will be dedicated to a vamped-up version of the usual tricks and treats. From midday, limitless plates piled high with fresh pasta and crisp-based pizza will be weaving through spirited crowds as the cocktails and fizz flow. And for those looking to dine after dark, the evening sitting will dial up the tempo with a live DJ bringing Thriller vibes dangerously close to the witching hour.
Sink your fangs into delicious dishes including a starter of Pumpkin panna cotta with chard, brie and herbed pumpkin hummus, followed by pizzas with tricked-out toppings; Black spaghetti shrouded with cuttlefish and white wine sauce; Bloody Mary Mafalda Bolognese; Pumpkin risotto with blue cheese and candied pumpkin; and skull-shaped Gnocchi with wild mushroom sauce.
Devilishly good desserts provide a final phantom flourish to your meal with Pumpkin pie, loaded with ice cream and topped with an autumnal cinnamon crunch.
And to drink? Well, name your poison. Expect bloodcurdling cocktails abound with free flowing ‘Bloody Bellinis’, prosecco and Aperol spritz.
Surrounded by high ornate ceilings, exquisite chandeliers, Neoclassical Corinthian columns and floor-to-ceiling arched windows that allow the afternoon light or sunset delight to flood in, prepare to step into an opulent world of otherness that is sure to become your regular Saturday haunt. Daylight dwellers can join the first 12pm-4pm sitting, whilst the second sitting from 6pm-10pm takes you past twilight and on into the night.
Piazza Italiana’s Halloween Brunch costs just £59 per person for bottomless food and drinks** at the afternoon sitting and £69 per person for the evening with live DJ. It’s all happening on one day only so make your reservation now here, it’ll be a scream.
