Our story

Born from a love of slow cooking and simple ingredients.

From the very first evening, laughter found its way through our cosy trattoria. Glasses clinked, friends gathered, and the warmth of Italy settled into the air. In the kitchen, dough was kneaded, pasta was rolled by hand, and simple ingredients were transformed into something memorable.

In the kitchen

Dough stretched by hand, every night.

Our pizzaiolo works the dough in front of you; the pasta is rolled fresh each afternoon. Nothing arrives in a box.

Picante pizza, pappardelle, meatballs and a special with delicious clams. Service was great and we even met the chef.

The steak could have been cut with a wooden spoon it was so tender. We’ll definitely be back.
