Located in the heart of the City of London, Piazza Italiana is an award-winning Italian restaurant set within a magnificent Grade II listed former banking hall. Just moments from Bank Station and a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, the venue is ideally positioned for both London-based businesses and guests travelling into the capital.

From Breakfast Meetings to Client Dinners

Business hospitality today extends far beyond the traditional board dinner.

Piazza Italiana offers a variety of options throughout the day, from breakfast meetings and morning presentations to business lunches, private dining and evening entertaining.

Breakfast meetings have become increasingly popular for businesses looking to meet outside the office in a more relaxed and productive environment. Our private and semi-private spaces provide an excellent setting for team briefings, client introductions, presentations and leadership meetings before the working day begins.

Its central City location, with excellent transport connections via Bank, Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Cannon Street stations, makes it a convenient choice for bringing together colleagues, clients and guests from across London and beyond.
