Judy Joo Instagram – I am so happy that Carlotta has opened in my London hood of Marylebone! @marylebonevillage Owned by the famed Big Mamma @bigmamma.uk group whose other splashy venues include the some of London’s most Instagrammed restaurants, Carlotta, their newest venue proves no different. 🔥 They’ve completely transformed a once sleepy deli on the high street, into a wonderfully fun vibe-y venue. The captivating decor is hard to describe— 1970s Las Vegas wedding chapel meets kitschy vintage basement, complete with random memorabilia, felt letter boards and accented with neon signage. Sounds totally odd, but it works. 👌 A visit to the loos is worth the trip too, if only to snap a selfie with backwards written “made for purpose” neon signs in the toilets, and a haloed Madonna beckoning at the sinks. The food feels Italian American as well, with the stuffed chicken parm a must have. A juicy tender chicken breast, breaded and fried gorgeously bronze and crispy, and stuffed with oozing mozz on the inside. A tangy spag sauce made this dish totally addictive. Even the warm sour dough bread with aromatic herby butter was comforting and delightful. The burnt cheesecake was also a hit— a light and creamy Italian version. It’s only been open a few weeks now, and it’s packed solid already especially the al fresco tables outside. I will be back! 🙌 • • • • #chef #chefs #cook #cooking #cheflife #chefsofinstagram #foodart #foodblog #foodculture #foodgasm #foodie #foodiegram #foodielife #foodinspiration #foodlover #foodpassion #foodphotography #foodporn #foodstagram #Carlotta #Delish #ItalianCuisine #FoodieHeaven
