ESTATE ’90

One last taste of summer… the Italian way. 🇮🇹☀️

Summer may be coming to an end, but before we say goodbye to long evenings, warm sunsets and that unmistakable feeling of being on holiday in Italy… we're taking you back to the 1990s.

Join us at Il Posticino for ESTATE ’90 — an evening inspired by those unforgettable Italian summers when holidays meant seaside towns, music on the radio, Bellinis before dinner and long meals that seemed to last forever. 🍸🎶🌊

Expect a 5-course Italian tasting menu, a Bellini on arrival, and our little Sgroppino finale — A Sweet Italian Farewell.
And if you want to take the journey a little further, add our optional Italian wine pairing, carefully selected to accompany each course. 🍷

Thursday 27th August
£65 per person
Wine pairing £40 per person

✨ Limited spaces available — come and relive the taste of an Italian summer before the season is over.

When summers were endless, dinners lasted longer and every evening had the taste of Italy.

❤️ Thank You for an Unforgettable Sardegna Experience

What an incredible evening!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Sardegna Experience and helped make it such a memorable night.

It was a pleasure to share the authentic flavours, traditions and wines of this extraordinary island with you, taking a journey from the sea to the mountains of Sardinia through every course and every glass.

This event held a particularly special meaning for us, as it was lovingly dedicated to my late father, whose love for Sardinia and passion for cooking continue to inspire everything we do.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, your smiles and for allowing us to share a little piece of Sardinia with you.

"Dedicau a su babbu meu, cun amori e memoria." ❤️
Dedicated to my father, with love and memory.

Our journey through Italy continues… and we can't wait to welcome you to our next experience.

Grazie di cuore.
