A new place to eat at the Royal Opera House

Angela Hartnett’s Italian-leaning restaurant and rooftop bar on Level 5, Covent Garden.

Angela Hartnett OBE has opened Cicoria with an adjoining Bar Cicoria on Level 5 of the Royal Opera House. The restaurant keeps things ingredient-led and restrained; the terrace bar runs all day with a Turin-style mood and views over the piazza. Both are open to everyone, not just ticket-holders.

Relaxed, with food that celebrates exceptional produce and simplicity
