Italian dining concept opens in Covent Garden
Italian dining concept Burro has opened at Covent Garden’s Floral Court in Central London.
Created by Conor Gadd, chef and co-owner of London’s Trullo restaurant, the 4,000 sq ft space will offer dishes such as Dover sole with prosecco and caviar; duck and porcini ragú; and a signature Vitello al burro, alongside desserts and drinks.
Burro joins a number of chef-led concepts within Covent Garden, including The Barbary, Café Murano, ST
JOHN Neal’s Yard Bakery and Bar, Story Cellar and Buvette, which is due to open in Neal’s Yard later this year.
Emma Matus, head of restaurant leasing at Shaftesbury Capital, said: “At Shaftesbury Capital, our focus is on curating best-in-class operators who reflect and elevate the distinctive character of Covent Garden. Burro’s arrival at Floral Court embodies our commitment to thoughtful innovation, exceptional quality and chef-led creativity. It is a standout addition that further enhances the neighbourhood’s reputation as one of London’s most dynamic, compelling, and sought-after dining destinations.”
The opening of Burro follows the recent news that Inception Group has signed for a new flagship location in Covent Garden’s Market Building. Set to be a Mr Fogg’s Tavern, the 4,500 sq ft site will add to the
neighbourhood’s mix of experiential F&B names, as well 24 dining concepts which joined Shaftesbury Capital’s portfolio in 2025.
