Quo Vadis Overview
Karl Marx once lived in this building, one of the oldest in Soho. But its claim to fame this century has been as "Leoni's Quo Vadis", one of London's most respected Italian restaurants, founded in the 1930's by Peppino Leoni.
The charm of the ground floor restaurant, with its stained glass windows and simple interior, has been restored and a menu devised whose range and quality have won instant acclaim. The striking works of art displayed around the restaurant are created in homage to such luminaries as Lucio Fontana and Alberto Giacometti.
The Rossini & Giacometti Rooms are elegantly appointed to complement the main restaurant and adorned with the artwork of Marco Pierre White. The rooms are west facing, thus giving natural light for business or private lunches,whilst during the evening the neon glow of Soho lights lend an ambience and atmosphere to dinner parties.
The Modigliani Room, like the Rossini & Giacometti Rooms, is furnished in cool, contemporary style, with striking modern paintings. The atmosphere is elegant and understated, with bright natural light by day and warm, mellow tones by night.
The Warhol Room, in contrast to the Rossini and Modigliani, is 'richly' decorated with dark red walls, black and wood seating, Andy Warhol paintings and striking art pieces. (Updated 30/11/2008)
