NEW YEAR'S EVE DINNER.
LATE SITTING.

It is a set menu with a choice at every course rather than a fixed plate. The card runs across starters, pasta, mains, pizza and desserts, and homemade focaccia comes to the table with every booking. Three courses are £140 per person, and a discretionary 13.5% service charge is added to the bill.

The menu leans on what the Soho kitchen does every day: pasta made by hand, Roman-style pizza from the open-fire oven, and the grill. Black truffle runs through it as the festive thread, from the beef tartare to the ravioli, the tagliatelle and the short rib.

Starters

The lighter end of the card is Andria Burrata with Baby Plum Tomatoes and Pesto, a Tuscan Cured Meat Selection with Buffalo Mozzarella and Potato Croquettes, Aubergine Parmigiana, and an Artichoke Salad with Avocado and Parmesan Shavings. The richer choices are Beef Fillet Tartare with Potato Millefeuille, Black Truffle and Cheese Fondue, Deep Fried Calamari with Tartare Sauce, and Seared Scallops served in the shell with garlic, chilli and butter.

Pasta, mains and pizza

The pasta section carries Seafood Risotto, Rigatoni with Wild Boar Ragù, Ravioli with Prawns, Sea Bass and Black Truffle, Tagliatelle with Black Truffle, and a Beef Ragù Lasagna with Béchamel. The mains lean on the grill: Beef Ribeye with Roast Potatoes, Mushrooms and Veal Jus, Slow Cooked Beef Short Rib with Creamed Truffle Potato, Lamb Cutlets with Mashed Potato and Veal Jus, Butterflied Seabass with Grilled Vegetables and Roast Potatoes, and a Salmon Fillet with Asparagus, Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes.

Five Roman-style pizzas sit alongside them for the table that wants one: Margherita, Vegetariana, Diavola, Bufalina and the house Bocconcino.

Desserts

Tiramisù, Profiteroles with Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Sauce and Almonds, Homemade Soft Serve Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce and Hazelnuts, Cheesecake, and Black Forest Cake.

Meat-free choices and allergies

There is a meat-free option in every section apart from the mains: the burrata, the aubergine parmigiana and the artichoke salad to start, the black truffle tagliatelle, the Margherita, Vegetariana and Bufalina pizzas, and the desserts. Several of these use Parmesan, so strict vegetarians and vegans are best flagging it when booking. Allergies and intolerances should be raised with the server before ordering.

Christmas at Bocconcino Soho

For larger tables and private parties, the events team runs Christmas group menus and the Private Dining Room on the lower ground floor, which comes with its own bar and DJ deck. Christmas parties at Bocconcino Soho. After dinner, Sotto Bar in the basement of the same building is open for cocktails.

The restaurant is at 59 Great Marlborough Street, three minutes on foot from Oxford Circus.
