Zucca is the result of a life long passion for food and the places in which it is served. My initial intention was to create a restaurant in which I would frequent myself- a place that is not only considered in both it's food and design, but one that has a personality and identity.
The restaurant will always be an evolving project, one that adjusts it's approach when new ideas and concepts become apparent.
Design will play a more key role as surroundings can have a dramatic impact on a dining experience. The menu will show progression in it's form and in what it delivers, whilst always retaining the necessity of maximum flavour. Our wines will continue to be representative of the regions from which they are from, maintaining tradition in the grape varieties used, and reflective of the people who make them.
But overall Zucca will continue to develop in a way that feels natural with nothing being forced or faked. It will always be a place that reflects who I am and what influences me at that moment in time…
Our spacious private room is located in the kitchen of the restauarant, adjoined by a glass-walled wine cellar. We offer various dining options from a bespoke menu with matching wines to our Zucca à la carte menu. The space is available to hire for meetings or wine tastings.

Our new restaurant Farina will be opening towards the end of the summer. It is located next to Zucca on Bermondsey Street. The concept is pizza and ice cream... more details to follow.
during the next few weeks you will see a gradual refurbishment to the dining room at Zucca. we are working closely with Universal Design Studio in Shoreditch, who are assisting in all elements of the space from the chairs, candle holders, cutlery and ceramics. Companies such as Knoll, Another Country, Hampson Woods, Normann Copenhagen and Italia, are all contributing to the changes.

Justin Eagle's reading of visual culture is through the appropriation of sign; “contemporary urban reality through symbols whose familiarity grants them a sort of invisibility in everyday life.” (Colin Perry) Eagle graduated from the Royal College of Art, has exhibited across the UK and was artist in residence at The Florence Trust, London 2010-11. He had his first London solo show at Vitrine Bermondsey Square in 2011. www.vitrinegallery.co.uk/artist/justin-eagle/
Clare Kenny works with a variety of materials such as found objects and building materials yet her work almost always originates in photography, sometimes simply just the idea of the photograph. She was born in Manchester, studied at Chelsea school of art, London and then at HSLU Luzern, Switzerland, and has been living and working in Basel, Switzerland for the last five years. www.vitrinegallery.co.uk/artist/clare-kenny
