Hartnett has also created a five-course tasting menu (priced £80 per person), featuring Murano’s signature dishes, with choices from two dishes for each course, including roasted sweetbread, pickled melon, fennel puree and spiced bread; pumpkin tortelli; monkfish braised in squid ink fregola with risotto and lardons; or rare breed pork and home-cured bacon. For dessert, the treats include pistachio, apple and peanut mousse; Madagascan chocolate with banana sorbet; or whole roasted peach with vanilla parfait.

From Sunday August 19, Murano will also be opening its doors every third Sunday to serve lunch. The sharing menu (priced £40 per person), curated by head chef Oscar Holgado, includes dishes such as house-cured mangalitza and separate servings of tortellini, ricotta, courgette, tomato ragout and roasted porchetta, plus pickled and roasted summer vegetables.
