Pizza and craft beer concept opens its doors on Fulham Road

Italian pizzeria, Lievito, has opened its first outlet in London this week after cutting the ribbon on its new restaurant on Fulham Road.

Serving up pizza and traditional Calabrian dishes from south-west Italy, the restaurant has also touted itself as a craft beer specialist, stocking a variety of specialist beers alongside Italian produce from its enjoycalabria brand.

Housed across two floors, the new 1,099 sq ft pizzeria at 273 Fulham Road provides space for 40-45 covers while its interior, which has been designed by Fabrica Architecture Ltd, retains many of the building’s original Victorian features including its cast iron stoves.

Following the launch, Rocco Caridi founder of Lievito, commented: “Our concept breaks the mould of traditional pizzerias, marrying innovation with authenticity and in turn producing something one-off.

“Our restaurant reflects Calabria both in style and identity, and we are delighted to showcase this in London, specifically in Chelsea. As a brand, we desire to grow and reach new customers, and there is no better place for us to do this than the Fulham Road.”

Hannah Grievson, Commercial Property Manager at Sloane Stanley said: “Lievito is a fantastic addition to the Fulham Road. Their authentic Italian offering builds on the exceptional existing line-up of dining.

“With an international catchment, affluent residents and a reputation for excellent retail and food operators, this is an ideal place for Lievito to share the authentic taste of Calabria with the UK.”
