Carlo Scotto leaves Xier to open new Mayfair restaurant Amethyst
29 April 2021 by Katherine Price
Carlo Scotto has left his role as head chef at Xier restaurant in London's Marylebone to open a new restaurant, Amethyst, in September.
The 24-cover restaurant, a former Caffè Nero site at 52 Stratton Street in Mayfair, will offer three- and four-course menus at lunch, with six- and 15-course tasting menus at dinner.
There will also be a chef's table where guests will be invited to prepare a dish under Scotto's tutelage.
He said: "It has been an ambition of mine to open in Mayfair and the pandemic has given me time to find the perfect site and redevelop my menus. I can't wait to share my new dishes with diners come the autumn."
Xier is listed as permanently closed on Google.
