Once a Kensington institution and then part of Jean-Christophe Novelli's empire, The Ark has re-opened as as a schmick Italian restaurant. Although the interior space is limited, clever design has made the dining area seem a lot larger with decent sized tables and comfortable seating. There is a bijou decked area which makes a delightful spot for al fresco eating. Expect more than competent cooking with top quality ingredients and beautiful presentation.
