Easter is one of the most joyful times of the year — a season of renewal, family gatherings, and, of course, indulgent food. If you are looking for the perfect Easter restaurant in London, look no further than La Ballerina Italian Restaurant, nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, just steps away from the iconic Royal Opera House. Whether you are planning an Easter Sunday lunch, a romantic Easter dinner, or a family celebration, La Ballerina offers an unforgettable Italian dining experience that will make your Easter truly special.
Why Choose La Ballerina for Easter in London?
Covent Garden is one of London’s most vibrant and visited neighbourhoods, especially during the Easter holiday season. Families, couples, and tourists flock to this beautiful area to soak in the festive atmosphere. Amid all the excitement, La Ballerina stands as a warm, welcoming haven of authentic Italian flavours.
Our restaurant has been serving the finest Italian cuisine in Covent Garden for years, earning a reputation for quality, warmth, and genuine Italian hospitality. This Easter, we invite you to sit down, relax, and let us bring Italy to your table.
Our Italian Easter Menu — A Celebration of Authentic Flavours
In Italy, Easter — known as Pasqua — is celebrated with lavish feasts, fresh seasonal ingredients, and time-honoured recipes passed down through generations. At La Ballerina, we bring this same Italian Easter spirit to the heart of London with a menu crafted to delight every palate.
Starters to Begin Your Easter Feast
Start your Easter meal the Italian way. Our Calamari — tender baby squid in golden breadcrumbs — is a crowd favourite, perfectly crisp on the outside and soft within. For something lighter, our fresh Italian Salads make an elegant opening to your Easter Sunday lunch, bursting with seasonal freshness.
Homemade Pasta — The Soul of Italian Easter
No Italian Easter is complete without pasta. At La Ballerina, every pasta dish is crafted with care and the finest ingredients. Our Tagliatelle al Salmone — silky tagliatelle with smoked salmon, fresh tomato, and cream — is a true Easter showstopper. For those who love a classic, our Spaghetti Carbonara with pancetta, egg, and parmesan is rich, comforting, and utterly satisfying. For seafood lovers, the Linguine Pescatore — king prawns, mussels, and squid rings in a vibrant tomato sauce — captures the spirit of an Italian coastal Easter celebration. Gluten-free pasta is also available on request.
Main Courses for a Memorable Easter
For main courses, La Ballerina offers a spectacular spread that honours Italian Easter traditions. Our Costoletta d’Agnello alla Griglia — chargrilled lamb chop served with mint or mushroom sauce — is the quintessential Easter dish in Italian culture, where lamb is a symbol of the season. Paired with seasonal vegetables, this dish is a true celebration on a plate.
For those who prefer fish, our Spigola (sea bass) grilled with white wine, aromatic herbs, mushrooms, and prawns is a dish that reflects the elegance of Italian coastal Easter dining. All fish dishes are served with two seasonal vegetables, making every plate a complete, balanced feast.
Easter Desserts — A Sweet Italian Finale
End your Easter feast on the sweetest note possible. Our legendary Tiramisu — crafted with delicate savoiardi biscuits, rich mascarpone, and a dusting of cocoa — is pure Italian comfort in every spoonful. Our creamy Panna Cotta with raspberry coulis offers a lighter yet equally indulgent option. And for something truly festive, the Zabaglione — a traditional Italian custard dessert flavoured with Marsala wine — is the ultimate Easter treat.
The Perfect Easter Location in London
Location matters when you are planning a special Easter outing in London. La Ballerina is perfectly situated at 7-8 Bow Street, Covent Garden, directly beside the Royal Opera House. After your Easter feast, take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful Covent Garden piazza, enjoy the street performers, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of one of London’s most loved neighbourhoods.
We welcome families with children too — our dedicated Kids Menu ensures that the little ones have just as wonderful an Easter as the grown-ups. Easter is about togetherness, and at La Ballerina, every table feels like family.
