Bottles: A Beloved Italian Restaurant Now Powered by BeBeMe Wines

 

London, UK – [October 2nd, 2025] – Bottles, the celebrated Italian restaurant and wine bar nestled in the heart of Old Spitalfields Market, is proud to announce its next chapter as part of the BeBeMe family. While Bottles retains its cherished identity, welcoming atmosphere, and regional Italian cuisine, it now benefits from the award-winning BeBeMe portfolio of sustainable, artisanal wines.

This is not a relaunch, but an enhancement: Bottles continues to serve as a local favourite and destination for Italian food lovers—now with an enriched wine list curated by BeBeMe Wine Merchants, featuring small producers and exclusive selections from across Italy and beyond.

Led by Italian Chef Claudio Geraci and General Manager Stefano Tatti, Bottles delivers true Italian flair, flavour, and warmth. From the kitchen to the aperitivo board, every moment reflects the team’s deep commitment to authenticity and hospitality—the Italian way. Diners can enjoy signature dishes like our Beef Lasagna Bolognese, Rib Eye Steak with Gorgonzola Butter and Porcini Mushrooms, Rigatoni Carbonara, or our generous selection of cured meats and cheese long boards—perfect for sharing and pairing with a glass of wine.

In true Italian tradition, Bottles is now offering complimentary Italian tapas with every drink—bringing the spirit of aperitivo to London in its most authentic form.

Julio Bruno, Founder & CEO of BeBeMe, said: “Bottles has long been known for its authentic Italian spirit. By adding BeBeMe’s expertly sourced wines, we’re enhancing what is already a great dining experience. We’re not changing Bottles—we’re elevating it.”

Bruno, who also serves as Executive Chairman of Lío Group and former CEO of Time Out Group, brings years of experience in global hospitality, entertainment, and media to this project. His goal is clear: “We want Bottles to be the benchmark for genuine Italian food and wine culture in London—accessible, elegant, and joyful.”
