In February 2017, The Social Company is set to open Hai Cenato, the group’s first Italian restaurant. Launching in the burgeoning NOVA complex located next to Victoria station, Hai Cenato will join new openings from a host of London’s other top restaurateurs to form one of 2017’s most exciting new dining destinations.
Translating as ‘Have you had dinner?’ in Italian, Hai Cenato is the second collaboration between Jason & Irha and Chef Patron Paul Hood, who also heads up the Michelin-starred Social Eating House. James Brown, currently Senior Sous Chef at Social Eating House, will also be joining the Hai Cenato team as Head Chef. Inspired by New York-Italian cuisine, the menu will span small plates, pasta & risotto, grills and pizzas made in the restaurant’s own custom-built pizza ovens.
The Drunken Oyster, the restaurant’s bar overseen by Group Bar Executive, Jamie Jones, will launch at the same time, serving classic Italian cocktails with a twist and sparkling ‘taptails’.
