Vasco & Piero's Pavilion Restaurant Overview
Vasco and Piero opened the restaurant in 1971 above the much revered, and now sadly lost, Academy cinema in Oxford Street. The Pavilion, a former Hungarian tea room, was owned by the cinema’s founder, and director of the acclaimed ‘Murder in the Cathedral’, George Hoellering.
The Pavilion’s very particular and unusually intricate interior design was the creation of Angus McBean, the celebrated photographer.
In 1989, The Pavilion moved to the current premises at 15 Poland Street.
Vasco and Piero created the restaurant out of a passion for good, uncomplicated food. The making of fresh pasta on the premises has always been a priority. From the outset, the menu changed twice a day, a tradition which still continues.
Vasco was born in Umbria and as a result of this much produce is sourced direct from farmers in this region. Particular favourites are truffles, wild mushrooms, seasoned cheeses and cured meats such as lombetto and capocollo.
The Soho location means that The Pavilion attracts a variety of clients and in particular those working in the media, film and fashion businesses.
The main restaurant can host up to 65 people.The elegant, private room downstairs, which seats 34, can be used for business and private functions. (Updated 07/05/2006)
