Your Italian deli era starts here. The good olive oil. The proper crackers. The wine you can’t stop thinking about.
We stock a little edit of Italian pantry favourites — the kind of things that make a Tuesday at home feel like a long lunch somewhere south of Naples.
Pop in and take a little Italy home with you. 🛍️ 📍

Dear Diary,

The Italians have been trying to tell us something. Italy’s best export isn’t pasta. It’s perspective.
Come in. We’ll explain the rest over a glass.

You don’t need to know anything. That’s the whole point.
Our pasta making workshops are for complete beginners - no experience, no chef skills, no idea what semolina is. You show up, we sort the rest.
Two hours. Fresh dough. Real technique. A proper meal at the end. And a recipe to take home so you can absolutely pretend you’ve always known how to do this.
£65 or £80 per person.

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! 🎉
CIRO’S has been awarded an £11,000 grant through the Backing International Small Restaurants programme, supported by - and we are one of just 20 independent restaurants across London and Manchester to receive it.
This means so much to us as a small, women-led, independent restaurant. The grant went straight into upgrading our oven and new equipment - which is exactly what made our pasta-making workshops possible. 🍝
You can now come and make fresh pasta right here in Islington. Small classes, proper technique, and a meal to enjoy at the end.
To every single one of you who has come in, booked a table, bought a bottle, or simply told a friend - thank you. This is for you.

5 Italian cooking secrets we think everyone should know…
especially the last one 🤌
02/04/2026
Sorry, but really enjoyed watching Steph’s reactions 😭
If you want to shock your Italian friend, try these:
Pineapple on pizza or ketchup on pasta?
Cream in carbonara or breaking spaghetti?
Olive oil in the fridge or cooking pasta without salt?
Cold pasta or burnt pizza?
Too much garlic or no garlic at all?
Lasagne with ketchup or lasagne without béchamel?
Warm limoncello or… limoncello with milk? 👀
