Family run, cooked the Italian way, on a quiet stone street in Stamford.
01Family run, and it shows
We are a small independent bistro, not a chain. The kitchen turns out antipasti, hand stretched pizza, pasta and grill dishes the way an Italian kitchen should. Ingredients are sourced from local suppliers as much as possible.
02Lunch and dinner
Tuesday and Wednesday, 17:00-22:00. Thursday, 12:00-15:00 and 17:00-22:00. Friday and Saturday, 12:00-15:00 and 17:00-22:30. The kitchen serves lunch and dinner, then we are closed Sunday and Monday.
03An Italian larder next door
Alongside the bistro sits our deli, stocked with Italian groceries. There are great coffees and a well stocked bar with an exclusively Italian wine list, to take home or drink in.
04Good to know
WiFi and toilets available. Booking advised. A great value, non-chain alternative to the big Italian chains, with house rose around GBP 16.
