"Some booths are good for back support, some are good for feeling like you own the entire damn restaurant. Carlotta, a glam Italian spot where the design brief must have simply been ‘more’, is the latter. Sprawl out on oxblood leather at the lavish Marylebone hideout as bowtie-wearing waiters spoon fettuccine alfredo into your Gucci-esque bowl. You’ll know you’ve gone too far when you start petting the life-sized(ish) jaguar statue like a TV villain." - sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
