Silky, creamy, and homemade 🤍✨

Panna cotta is a classic Italian dessert made by gently heating cream with sugar and vanilla, then setting it until it becomes wonderfully smooth and delicate.

Served here chilled, topped with caramel sauce and alongside a summer berry compote, it has a soft, melt in your mouth texture that’s simple, elegant and utterly delicious.

My nonna used to say, it’s always best to end the meal with something cold and sweet, and I think this just hits the spot no matter what time of year it is!

Affogato season is in full swing. Is this the ultimate way to end a meal?

Italian ice cream topped with Tuscan cantucci biscotti, served with freshly brewed Neapolitan espresso and your choice of either amaretto (almond) or frangelico (hazelnut) liqueur to pour over the top.

It’s a cross between a dessert, a digestif and a post meal espresso. ☕️ Probably big enough to share if you are after something on the lighter side, or even just a taste.

Always on the menu! Find our dessert menu on each table 🇮🇹🍴❤️

If a Margherita pizza is the queen of pizzas, the Pizza Marinara is the queen of simplicity…

…but also the hardest to get right?

An icon of the traditional Neapolitan pizza scene, the toppings are just San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil, oregano and extra virgin olive oil. All over our hand stretched homemade traditional Neapolitan pizza base.

It’s name would suggest that this should be a seafood pizza, but in fact it takes its name from the sailors of the port of Naples that would regularly order these on return from their journeys.

Find this pizza on our vegan menu, as it’s unintentionally completely vegan, but also a delight on a warm summer evening when you don’t want a pizza that’s too heavy.

e forza Napoli sempre 🇮🇹🍴💙
