Authentic Italian Dining Experience in Yorkshire
Established in 2018, our journey began with a passion for authentic Italian cuisine rooted in family heritage. Inspired by Marco's upbringing in Calabria, where he learned traditional pasta-making from his Nonna, we opened our first Ilkley restaurant as a modest lunch bar. Over six years, we expanded to four locations across Yorkshire, earning recognition including an AA Rosette for culinary excellence and TripAdvisor accolades.Our menus feature daily homemade pasta, fresh bread, and seasonal ingredients, reflecting Nonna's time-honoured recipes. Each restaurant combines intimate dining spaces with vibrant outdoor terraces, offering lunch, dinner, and special occasion menus. With consistent quality and service across all locations, we remain committed to sharing Marco's family traditions through every handmade dish and carefully curated wine selection.

Fantastic Italian food... Speedy friendly service with a smile and personality. Beef shin Ragu perfect, King Prawns brilliant. If we lived closer we'd be very fat but happy.

Mixed bag really. We were sat down facing the road, not the best table but were told all other tables were booked.
Ordered a bottle of wine, starters and main with the waitress, who was very helpful and friendly. The manager then came over and offered us a more expensive bottle of wine, we tried a taster and it was really nice so we agreed.
Starters came 10 minutes later, 10 minutes after that our upsold wine was no where to be seen. In the mean time we had noticed the manager doing the same thing with other tables, upselling the wine. We flagged the manager down and asked for our wine, he
