SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

A timeless classic. Golden egg yolk and Pecorino Romano create a velvety sauce, perfectly coating spaghetti and crisp guanciale.

SCARPETTA

Sweet tomato & garlic sauce, served with freshly baked bread. Using the finest tomatoes grown in the rich volcanic soil of San Marzano, the art of 'scarpetta' is to mop up the sauce until the plate is clean.

PANNA COTTA

A delicate vanilla cream panna cotta, perfectly set and paired with amarena cherries and a sweet crunch of amaretti biscuit.

The Boxing Day Affair

The celebration doesn’t end on Christmas Day. Join us this Boxing Day for a relaxed afternoon inspired by Nonna’s table, filled with comforting Italian classics, live music, and the warmth of togetherness.

From 12pm–4pm, gather your loved ones and enjoy à la carte favourites and festive specials.

The afternoon comes alive with a DJ from 12–4pm, setting the perfect festive mood, and live performances from at 1–1.45pm and 3–3.45pm, making every moment feel like a celebration.
