Following the success of its launch earlier this year, Jason Atherton and Paul Hood, co-founders of New York-Italian restaurant Hai Cenato, have expanded their menu with the addition of indulgent brunch dishes with an Italian twist. The new family-friendly brunch will be served every Saturday and Sunday from 11am-3pm in the restaurant, as well as their outside terrace.
In addition, kids (aged 12 and under) can enjoy a mini Margherita sourdough pizza or pasta Bolognese, plus a cone of gelato (Crème Fraiche, Salted Caramel and Vanilla) for dessert – all on the house*.
Brunch menu highlights include: Italian French toast, Amalfi lemon curd with blueberries; Primo sale, Italian watermelon, 36-month prosciutto, Mostocotto; Cacio e pepe, smoked mackerel, butter poached potatoes, flat parsley; and a lighter option of Rosemary Focaccia, fried Arlington whites with nduja jam. For those not wanting to miss out on the highly-acclaimed sourdough pizzas, a ‘Breakfast Pizza’ will be available topped with San Marzano tomato, sausage, oregano, prosciutto, mushroom and egg.
Hai Cenato’s upstairs bar – The Drunken Oyster – have curated a fresh and seasonal Elderflower and Peach Bellini especially for the brunch, which is available throughout the restaurant. The full cocktail menu is also available, including their signature drinks; Negrose (Fords gin, Cocchi Rosa, Campari, strawberry, Tonka), Mamma’s Recipe (Ketel One, Baileys, ricotta, Kahlua, espresso) and Cosa Nostra: part II (Havana 3yr Rum, Amaro Montenegro, Palo Cortado, blood orange sherbet).
Jason Atherton commented: “It’s really important to me to make my restaurants as family-friendly as possible – keep the kids happy and it means parents can have a great time and relax a bit too. Hai Cenato is our most informal restaurant yet, and the perfect place for a family outing – my two girls love going there with myself and Irha at the weekend.”

About Hai Cenato
On February 2017, The Social Company opened the doors to Hai Cenato, the group’s first Italian restaurant. Located within the NOVA Food development in London’s Victoria, the all-day eatery is the second collaboration between Jason and Irha Atherton and Chef Patron, Paul Hood, who also heads up Michelin-starred Social Eating House. Translating as ‘Have you had dinner?’, the typical greeting from Italian hosts to their family and friends, the venue is set across two floors, a 60-cover restaurant on the ground floor serving New York-Italian cuisine and a first floor 70-cover cocktail bar serving classic Italian cocktails with a twist and a selection of sparkling ‘taptails’
