The year isn’t over yet, but there’s an undisputed champion for London’s biggest restaurant opening of 2025. It’s Carbone, the splashy Italian-American dining room located in the Chancery Rosewood. Evenings there are highlighted by baskets of tomato-sauced “Grandma’s bread,” Caesar salads tossed table-side by dressed-up servers and a soundtrack by Frank Sinatra on loop. Since it opened in September, the place has boasted a 4,500-person wait list each night and nonstop buzz.
Although the restaurant is only a month old, the Carbone founders—Jeff Zalaznick, Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi, who run hospitality business Major Food Group—are already on to their next London project: Major’s Grill. It’s also in the Mayfair neighborhood, a roughly 20-minute walk from Carbone, and it will open in the second quarter of 2026 in the luxe Georgian palace that’s now the Cambridge House, Auberge Collection hotel, which will also debut next year.
