Some classics never need reinventing 🍕🍝

Introducing Pasta Passport 🍝
Every month, we’re putting one pasta dish in the spotlight.
For May, it’s our Chicken Alfredo, a dish inspired by Roman tradition, where a few simple ingredients are all it takes to create something memorable. Known for its silky sauce, rich parmesan, and timeless appeal, it’s a classic that proves Italian food is often at its best when it’s uncomplicated.
Our version is all about comfort, flavour, and of course...fresh pasta made in house.
Available throughout May in Waterloo and Fitzrovia.
