From our Antipasti to Pasta & Secondi dishes everything we do is homemade with love and passion and we are committed to using only top quality fresh products. We try wherever possible to source all of our ingredients from within a 20 mile radius and we import all of our Italian goods from across Italy including cheeses / cured meats / all of our wines. Our Head Chef Sammy Basile, was born and raised in south Italy and executive Keith Smith born and raised in Canterbury, this dynamic duo of Father and Son 'in Law' have all the ingredients up their sleeves to create a dining experience like no other.
