Picture perfect: Howard’s opening will focus on relaxed pasta dishes
(Picture: Andrew Hayes Watkins)Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Phil Howard is to take his lockdown delivery service permanent, as he opens a new pasta restaurant, Otto, in the centre of town this winter.
Not to be confused with one of London’s finest restaurants — Otto’s on the Grey’s Inn Road, named for the great Otto Tepasse — Howard’s new bar will open in early November next to St James’s church on Piccadilly, just off Piccadilly Circus. Louis Korovilas said to be “at the helm” in the kitchen. Korovilas is a busy chef; he made his name with the silk handkerchiefs at Bancone, moved on to Tavolino by Tower Bridge — reviews were decidedly mixed — before moving up to Islington for Noci.
