Our bar is open all day for coffee, cake and limoncello. Spend the afternoon discovering our extensive range of Amaro and grappa. Enjoy them traditionally or in a cocktail.

Massimiliano the Chef and owner originates from the town of Recco which is famous for Focaccia di Recco. Focaccia col formaggio has become one of our most popular dishes and has a history that dates back to the tenth century.

Todays version is said to have been created by Reccos Ristorante Manulina in the late 1800s. The ristorante keeps the tradition going today and the town has formed a consortium to protect the product that carries a DOP. To serve Foccacia di Recco you must have approval from the consortium and use a specific recipe. Surrounding towns such as Camogli call it Focacccia col formaggio.
Massi did his early apprenticeship years at the Ristorante Manulina and you may spot their Ristorante del Buon Ricordo plate on one of our shelves.

Come and enjoy without the trip to Italy.

Each Month we celebrate an Italian grape or Region

Wine Highlight: Frappato- The Pinot of the South 

Forget the heavy, brooding reds of the south; Frappato is Sicily’s barefoot dancer. Indigenous to the red sands of Vittoria, this ancient grape is a sensory explosion of wild strawberries, blood orange zest, and crushed rose petals. For decades, it played the supporting role—the aromatic “spark” that softened the dark, muscular Nero d’Avola in Sicily’s only DOCG, Cerasuolo di Vittoria. It’s often referred to as the “Pinot Noir of the Mediterranean” for its translucent ruby hue and ethereal elegance.

The Chosen Wines

Planeta                          

The Estate: From a 17th-generation family dynasty that sparked Sicily’s modern wine revolution in the 1980s.

The wine : High-definition and “sunny.” Imagine a chilled glass of wild strawberries and rose petals on a Mediterranean terrace. It’s clean, vibrant, and effortlessly elegant

Poggio di Bortolone                                                                                 

The Estate :has been led by the Cosenza family since the 1700s; they were pioneers in establishing the region’s prestigious DOCG status.

The wine : Smooth and “old-soul.” It trades bright candy notes for darker berries, liquorice, and dried violets. It is the most “Pinot-esque” and balanced expression of the group.

Arianna Occhipinti                                                                  

The Estate: From  a  cult-favourite “punk-rock” winemaker who started her label at age 22, championing biodynamics and zero-intervention.

 The wine : Wild and electric. Her SP68 (named after an ancient wine road) is “crunchy” and savory, tasting of wild thyme, tart cranberry, and crushed volcanic stone.
