While we Brits are fiercely loyal to our classic Sunday roast, Italians approach their weekend feast with an entirely different philosophy. You might be surprised to discover there is actually no set menu for the traditional *pranzo della domenica*—what graces the table in Venice looks completely unrecognisable to a family spread in Sicily. Yet, across all the sprawling courses, there is one cherished ritual every Italian household fiercely protects...

Trying to organise post-work drinks when half the group fancy a quick tipple and the rest are ravenous can feel like an impossible balancing act.

The secret is finding a venue that caters to both effortlessly, pairing an impressive line-up of nine Italian spritzes with a proper à la carte feast. It turns out Wakefield harbours an independent gem where nobody has to compromise on the evening's plans...

If you have been landed with organising this year’s Christmas do, you are likely already battling a chaotic group chat where everyone has an opinion but nobody makes a decision.

Before you get distracted by carbon-copy photos of baubles on tables, sorting just three key details early will save you an absolute mountain of festive stress. In fact, one honest question about evening timing could be the difference between a brilliant celebration and being hurried through your dessert before you have even settled in.

Ever wondered why your takeaway pasta often arrives claggy while the pizza has lost its crispness? It usually comes down to the "warming bag lottery", where your dinner sits behind several other deliveries across West Yorkshire before reaching your front door. We believe the secret to restaurant-quality food at home lies in the hours spent simmering a proper ragù, rather than the rushed speed of a high-street operation. There is one particular chicken dish that travels surprisingly well, and the reason our chefs suggest it might just change how you approach your next Friday night treat.

It’s been a little while since our last post—we’ve been busy juggling life with a newborn and running the business! (Struggles of an independent small business - nobody does your job for you) 🤍

Just a reminder that we’re still open for lunch and dinner. Book your table online or simply walk in—we’d love to see you! 🍽️✨

Dear loving Customers,

We would like to inform you that our breakfast service is currently paused due to staff shortages and as most of you already know I am on maternity leave, taking care of my beautiful baby boy (my top priority)

My management team are actively searching for experienced front of house staff who hold a driving licence, as well as back of house staff, to cover all hours.

All updates are available on our website, but we understand that not everyone may check it regularly.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to resuming our full breakfast service as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support!!

Lots of love

Gina V
