Dez Amore opens standalone restaurant in Fulham

Italian street food concept Dez Amore has officially opened its first restaurant in London’s Fulham Road. 

The new 1,178 sq ft location marks Dez Amore’s first standalone restaurant space, specialising in traditional Italian dishes with a “unique and contemporary twist”, and follows the brand’s success across several market-led destinations including Camden, Mercato Mayfair and Boxpark. 

Dez Amore’s menu features a range of pasta, pizza, burgers and antipasti as well as desserts such as chocolate and pistachio cheesecake. 

The space has a “rustic” atmosphere, paying homage to founders Leonardo Masi and Simone Parentini’s Italian roots, and has been designed by Timothee Studio. 

Co-founder Masi said: “We are very proud because this restaurant represents our first space outside of a food hall. This is our flagship store, the first of a long series, and a space where you can really immerse yourself in our reality: living a true Italian experience signed Dez Amore. 

“I have dedicated my life to cooking, my true passion between pasta, bread and pizza. This store represents an achievement and an important milestone on a personal level as well.” 

Hannah Grievson, property director at Sloane Stanley, added: “We have dedicated a lot of time over the last few months to elevate our F&B offer, and it’s great to see it take shape with the opening of Dez Amore, and many more to follow in the coming weeks. 

“Dez Amore has showcased its success and popularity across London, and it will be fantastic to have a thriving pizza and pasta operator in the heart of our estate.”
