Tasting Italy - Italian Restaurant

About Us

You may have noticed we have slightly changed things around here. Moving on from Sicilian regional food, we have decided to expand, and take this place to the next level. Italy is now our scope. From the gritty street food of Palermo to the buttery kitchen of Bologna to the ultra-refined prowess Piedmont, we will take you on a journey through the heart of Italy’s eno-gastronomic traditions and heritage. We have a no-fuss and no pretentious policy. We want to bring you pure and honest dishes like you would experience when stumbling upon a trattoria in a remote Italian village. Now more than ever is the time to enjoy long dinners with good company. We hope you will feel at home. The rest is storia as they say.
