The take
The Take
The Vibe
Mezzogiorno sits squarely within the Corinthia London’s grand, restored Victorian setting, giving the room a distinctly historic register. The writing frames the restaurant as formal without feeling heavy: high ceilings and plush finishes in the main dining room reflect the hotel’s overall character and a European, white-tablecloth tradition. A second room with an open kitchen and chef’s table introduces a more immediate, culinary-minded counterpoint to the formal dining space. Francesco Mazzei’s Calabrian roots anchor the menu, so the overall vibe blends hotel-formality and regional Italian authenticity, making the experience refined and rooted in place.
Best For
This is a restaurant for occasions that demand a considered dining environment. The address and tone suit business dinners and international visitors, while the dining rooms accommodate both long lunches and celebratory dinners. The formal main room holds up for milestone meals and client entertaining; the open-kitchen area with a chef’s table offers a more engaged dining encounter for smaller, focused groups. In short, Mezzogiorno reads as a destination when you want regional Italian cooking presented with the polish and service standards of a grand hotel.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the kitchen’s strengths by ordering its signature pastas—Tagliolini all’astice blu, Tortelli di ’nduja and Fettuccine ai funghi e tartufo are highlighted dishes and showcase the chef’s regional and technical approach. If you want a more theatrical, up-close experience of the cooking, choose the room anchored by the open kitchen and the chef’s table; that setup is explicitly described and is where the kitchen’s technique is most on display. For classic celebratory evenings or a leisurely long lunch, stick to the composed pasta plates that define the menu’s voice.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Choose Mezzogiorno by Francesco Mazzei when the priority is a composed restaurant meal inside Corinthia Hotel. The Garden at Corinthia London is the easier same-address call for a more relaxed mood, while Northall keeps the comparison within the hotel for diners who want another polished Corinthia option.
Kerridge's Bar & Grill is the stronger pick for a higher-spend Modern British meal, especially for guests who want the restaurant itself to be the event. Mezzogiorno is the more practical choice if the location and easier booking matter more than a ££££ statement dinner.
For a broader Whitehall hotel cross-shop, One Two One Two and Raffles London at The OWO are better comparisons than neighbourhood restaurants elsewhere in London. Pick them when the plan is built around the larger hotel district; stay with Mezzogiorno when Corinthia is the anchor.
