Our key to creating the finest Italian starter is using the best quality ingredients we can source. 🇮🇹

We use La Latteria burrata, hand made in London, this artisan burrata is made to order and on our plates a few days later, it really doesn’t get much fresher than that! We pair this with a 24 month aged prosciutto di Parma ham and our house caponata salsa made from roasted red peppers, aubergine, nocellara olives, capers, golden raisins and basil. 🌿 Simply delicious.
