🍝 All. The. Pasta. 🍝

​

Our menu is packed with an extensive selection of homemade pastas, perfect for every taste.

​

We’ve got the classics you know and loveβ€”pork & beef meatballs, Bolognese, Arrabbiata... the list goes on! But for those looking to try something a bit different, our signature pasta dishes are a must.

​

✨ Smoked chicken rigatoni with garlic cream, leeks, and oven-dried tomatoes

✨ Our legendary shin of beef ragu with Chianti & sage

✨ And possibly our customer favourite β€” ​ fettuccine king prawn with brandy, cream, and tomato 🍀

​

We also stock gluten-free pasta and can modify most dishes to suit other dietary requirements.

​

So, which pasta is your favourite? Let us know in the comments! πŸ‘‡πŸ΄

We're a little teary😒today as it's our wonderful team member Eddie's last shift before she goes off to begin her career in marketing.
​
Eddie came over from Sweden to study at university and, after falling in love with the city, chose Newcastle as her new home.
​
❀️After 4 years of being an integral part of the Marcos family, to say we are going to miss her is an understatement.
​
🌟We know she's made so many fabulous connections with our customers, so feel free to pop in to say a HUGE goodbye to our superstar! 🌠
​
Good luck, Eddie. You're going to do big and brilliant things! ​ βœ¨πŸš€πŸ’«πŸ’ž

​
These delicious dishes are guaranteed to get you in the festive spiritβ€”along with the holiday tunes we’ll be playing! 🎢✨
​
Our Γ€ La Carte menu will still be available alongside our festive options, and the whole table doesn’t need to stick to just one menu.
​
Also, just a heads up, throughout December, we’ll be open Mon-Sat from 12pm to make sure you’ve got plenty of time to enjoy your Christmas celebrations! πŸŽ‰
​
DM us today to secure your dates for your Christmas party. πŸŽ…πŸŽ
