Roberto Costa launches gluten-, dairy- and sugar-free restaurant

Roberto Costa and team behind Italian steakhouses Macellaio RC are launching a gluten-, dairy- and sugar-free restaurant in Fulham on 4 May.

The group's fifth London restaurant, Ardiciocca, will offer Mediterranean food with a focus on fermentation.

Costa said simplicity and the finest ingredients will provide the ethos for his latest opening, explaining: "We just need to enhance the flavours and make them shine, the treasure is already there."

Chef Simona Ranieri will be at the helm of the restaurant and has created a menu including starters such as marinated and flamed mackerel, kimchi cucumber, dill and coconut yogurt; mains including pea ravioli with almond, borage and clam broth or grilled Albenga artichoke with hummus, pine nuts and bottarga, as well as a selection of sugar- and dairy-free desserts.

The wine list will focus on natural, organic and biodynamic wines, selected not only for their low allergenic impact, but also to support small, artisan traders around the world.
