Recently opened on Selfridges’ iconic rooftop, alto by San Carlo confirms its status as one of the capital’s finest new Italian restaurants by announcing a one-night takeover on 27th June by seven of Italy’s most renowned chefs.
Gathered together by the acclaimed Italian fine enogastronomic consortium Identità Golose, these talents, with no less than seven Michelin stars between them, will offer guests the opportunity to experience an unforgettable culinary journey through the most contemporary takes on Italy’s regional flavours and gastronomy.
The dinner will see this extraordinary brigade take up residency in alto's kitchen to showcase an exciting new approach to Italy’s cuisine with a menu which takes a radical step towards new culinary horizons.

Above all, we’re proud to be bringing Viaggio in Italia to London in collaboration with Selfridges and Identità Golose, who both share our commitment to providing excellence.
