Our Italian Food Story in Canary Wharf

Clifton Food Court was born out of a genuine love for Italian cooking and a belief that good food shouldn't take all evening to prepare or cost a fortune to enjoy. The team draws on culinary traditions passed down through generations, with recipes that lean on simple, honest ingredients rather than shortcuts. Over the years, the restaurant has built a steady following among office workers, families, and food lovers across E14 who appreciate consistency and care on the plate. At the heart of it all is a commitment to quality - from the pasta that's made fresh on site to the seafood sourced with an eye for freshness.

Menu Highlights - Fresh Pasta, Seafood & Italian Classics

Starters

Focaccia With Garlic & Cheese

A warm, pillowy slice of plain focaccia brushed generously with garlic and olive oil, then finished with a dusting of Parmesan. Simple, fragrant, and the perfect way to start any meal - contains milk.

Bruschetta Al Pomodoro

Toasted homemade Italian bread piled high with ripe tomato, fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of oregano. Light, bright, and bursting with summery flavour.

Parmigiana Di Melanzane

Crispy fried aubergine layered with a rich tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Comforting, indulgent, and a real crowd-pleaser - contains milk.

Handmade fresh pasta

Gnocchi (Potato)

Soft, pillowy potato gnocchi made by hand, offering that satisfying chew that only fresh pasta can deliver. A blank canvas for rich sauces and a firm favourite among regulars.

Ravioli (Ricotta & Spinach)

Delicate parcels of fresh pasta filled with creamy ricotta and spinach, made daily by the kitchen's pasta chefs. Earthy, comforting, and a genuine East London favourite for handmade pasta lovers.

Lasagne dishes

Lamb Lasagne

Layer upon layer of fresh pasta sheets, slow-cooked lamb ragu Bolognese, mozzarella, Parmigiano cheese, and a smooth bechamel. Hearty, rich, and built for proper comfort eating - contains milk.

Seafood dishes

Salmone Alla Griglia

A beautifully grilled salmon fillet served alongside grilled vegetables and a scattering of fresh parsley. Light yet satisfying, and a popular pick for anyone after fresh seafood with an Italian twist - contains fish.

Insalata dishes

Caesar Salad

Crisp iceberg lettuce, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, rocket, carrot, olives, and generous shavings of Parmesan, all tossed in a classic Caesar dressing - contains milk.

Desserts

Homemade Tiramisu

The classic Italian dessert done properly: layers of savoiardi biscuits soaked in coffee, mascarpone cream, sugar, eggs, and a generous dusting of chocolate powder. Rich, silky, and the ideal way to finish any meal - contains egg and milk.
