Our Story

Demartino · Fitzrovia · London W1

With roots on Great Portland Street since 1990

The story began on Great Portland Street in 1990 with La Perugina, a small Italian sandwich bar. Over the years it evolved into Demartino, becoming a familiar Fitzrovia destination for authentic Italian food, carefully selected wines and warm hospitality.

Over more than three decades, Demartino has welcomed generations of diners for family meals, business lunches, celebrations and special occasions, while remaining true to the values that have defined it from the beginning.

“Good food brings people together. Everything else is about making them feel at home.”
