At Locatelli at the National Gallery, we are bringing a little taste of Italy to the heart of Trafalgar Square with our Italian-style afternoon pause; a simple, elegant pairing of coffee or tea and traditional regional biscuits for £9.
Enjoy your choice of coffee alongside crisp golden cassatelle and classic cantucci, served daily from 3pm to 5pm.
A Taste of Italy
Unlike the traditional English afternoon tea, this is a lighter ritual inspired by the cafés and pasticcerie of Italy — perfect for a quiet pause between galleries, an afternoon catch-up, or a moment to slow down in central London.
Our cantucci, the iconic almond biscuits from Tuscany, are known for their delicate crunch and long-standing café tradition, while cassatelle bring a taste of southern Italy with their golden crisp shell and softly sweet centre.
The Perfect Afternoon Pause
Whether you are stopping in after a visit to the National Gallery or simply looking for an afternoon escape, this is Italy’s answer to tea time — relaxed, comforting, and made to savour.
Book your table or simply walk in and join us for an afternoon pause, Italian style.
