The best restaurants to wine and dine this Easter Sunday

For an Italian spin on Easter classics, head down to Prego and savour head chef Mauro Sanna’s elaborate spread of antipasti, mains and roasts. Munch on farm cheeses and poached snow crab legs, then dig into signature wood-fired pizzas and luscious roasts such as the artichoke stuffed duck accompanied by rosemary potatoes, braised artichokes and tomato gratin.
 
End the meal on a sweet note with chef Sanna's spin on the traditional Easter Simnel cake, which is both soft and moist with its candied orange and array of dried fruits. Wash it all down with free-flow Zardetto prosecco.
