“Mario Gallati of the 'Caprice' in St James’s is one of the World’s best-known restaurateurs”
This is a Dedication by AGATHA CHRISTIE for her book - The Clocks (1963)
Dedicated: "To my old friend Mario with happy memories of delicious food at the Caprice." I belive that the restaurant referred to here is Le Caprice, opened in 1947 under Mario Gallati, former Maitre d'Hotel of sister restaurant The Ivy. Both were reinvented by Caprice Holdings in 1981. Le Caprice is located on Arlington Street in London. Neither Mr. Pendergast in his book Everyman's Guide nor Dennis Sanders and Len Lovallo in their The Agatha Christie Companion know who this Mario could be. The idea that it's Mario Gallati is purely my speculation and opinion.
