Spring Has Arrived at Noci

What’s New In The Kitchen

Spring’s arrived, and with it, a new chapter for Noci.

We’ve been busy in the kitchen, rethinking what modern Italian cooking looks like for us. It’s still rooted in everything we love about Italy, seasonal ingredients, and timeless classics but with a menu that feels rooted in heritage, guided by what’s in season.

The kind of dishes that make you feel at home in your local neighbourhood Italian, and best enjoyed over a spritz (or two).

Seasonal Small Plates

We’re big believers that the best meals start with “let’s just get a few things for the table.”

Think creamy Burrata with courgette and mint, Isle of Wight tomato Bruschetta, and a crisp, herb-packed Insalata with fennel, courgette, and spring peas. Don’t forget to add some Focaccia (you’ll want it).

From the sea, Fritto Misto brings that can’t-stop-picking-at-it feeling, while Carpaccio keeps things fresh with peas, lemon, and pecorino.

The Mains

When it’s time to settle in, the mains deliver.

There’s slow-cooked Porchetta with saffron apple purée, Pesce al Forno with lemon butter and clams, and a perfectly crisp Chicken Milanese for when only a classic will do.

Vegetarian? Our Parmigiana is layered, baked, and bubbling. And for something a little special, the Monkfish with Amalfi lemon brings those coastal Italian roots straight to your table, just as you would hope from an Italian restaurant London locals return to.

A Fresh Take On Italian Classics

We’ve taken the classics you know and love and given them a little spring refresh.

Cacio e Pepe is still very much on the menu (we wouldn’t dare remove it), but now it’s joined by lighter, greener plates like our Silk Handkerchiefs, delicate pasta layered with spring veg, mint, and pistachio.

Feeling something richer? Beef Shin & Chianti Ragù and Amatriciana bring bold flavours, while Aglio e Olio keeps things classic and plant-based.

Spritz Season Starts Here 

It wouldn’t be spring without a spritz in hand.

We’re pouring all the favourites, Aperol, Hugo, and Yuzu, alongside a few alcohol-free options that are just as refreshing. Light, citrusy, and made for those “just one more” kind of evenings at your go-to London Italian.

Your Local Neighbourhood Italian

Whether you’re stopping in after a day in Noci Battersea, out for a wander in Noci Richmond, finding a spot in Noci Shoreditch, or watching the afternoon roll by in Noci Islington, there’s always a table waiting at your local Noci.
