Nipotina

Nestled on South Audley Street, Nipotina - which means “granddaughter” in Italian - brings the loving warmth of Nonna’s kitchen to the elegant streets of Mayfair. 

Created by restaurateur Samyukta Nair and led by Turin‑born Chef Somaia Hammad, it's a place where heritage and home‑style cooking meet modern elegance.

From early breakfasts to leisurely lunches, aperitivo hour, and late suppers, Nipotina 
welcomes you at every hour with simple, soul‑filled Italian cuisine: handcrafted pasta, 
wood‑fired seafood and meats, crisp Northern Italian pizzas, pickles and preserves, 
and freshly baked Italian breads. 

Set in a space that feels at once like an elegant Italian home and your local ristorante, 
the interiors feature soft-toned walls, handmade tiles, walnut accents, mid‑century 
lighting, lush plants, and a sunlit Mayfair terrace. It’s the kind of space that invites you 
to linger.

Nipotina’s menu is a loving nod to seasonal ingredients and time‑honoured recipes, 
many passed down from Chef Somaia’s own Nonna - cooking that is unpretentious, 
comforting, and always authentic.

The all‑Italian wine list - curated by Luca Dusi of Passione Vino - includes accessible 
regional bottles alongside luxurious vintages, offering something for every mood and 
occasion.

Whether you’re after a relaxed Margherita, a truffle‑kissed pasta, or convivial table of 
seasonal dishes, Nipotina is where Mayfair locals gather, where comfort, casual 
sophistication, and Italian soul come together.
