Located in the historic County Hall building next to Westminster Bridge, The Strings is a unique ‘musical restaurant’ that specialises in Italian cuisine and Spanish tapas.

Launched in 2021 by husband-and-wife team Santy Masciaro and Elise Weber, The Strings serves Spanish tapas and Italian cuisine inspired by Santy’s Italian homeland.

An extra special feature of the restaurant is the live classical guitar music performed by Santy himself, who in addition to being a seasoned restaurateur (the pair previously ran their own restaurant in France), is also a professional classical guitarist. Every evening from 7pm catch Santy performing famous pieces for classical guitar by composers such as Rodrigo, Tarrega, Albeniz, Granados, Verdi and Rossini.

Located in the same building as the long-running Agatha Christie show Witness for the Prosecution, The Strings is an ideal pre-theatre venue. Pre-theatre dining options include a six-course tapas menu for two people (£70), three-course pasta menus (from £38) or a three-course steak menu, or alternatively choose from the a la carte menu.
