An Umbrian Paradise In The Middle Of Soho
CARTA D'IDENTITA DEI NOSTRI PIATTI:
Our food is based on Umbrian cuisine from central Italy,using just two or three ingredients for each dish. Our philosophy is to keep the dishes simple & fresh.

ANTIPASTI:
We only use the best quality extra virgin olive oil, mainly from Umbria, Central Italy. Many of our hams & salames such as Lombetto (a cured loin of pork) are imported from local Umbrian farms. When in season, we import black & white truffles from hunters around the hills of Umbria. Our balsamic vinegar is from Modena. We use Maldon sea salt's pure flaky crystals

PRIMI PIATTI:
All our flouribased pasta such as tortelloni and tagliatelle are hand made on the premises.
Our polenta is stirred constantly for 40 minutes.
Our gnocchi are made in-house with floury potatoes.
Our sauces are prepared on a daily basis using the freshest of ingredients.

SECONDI PIATTI:
We use only the freshest meat and fish from Great Britain, France, Italy & other parts of Europe. We do not freeze any meat or fish.
Some herbs are imported directly from Umbria such as wild fennel seeds, used with our grilled breast of duck.

PLEASE NOTE: WE CHANGE THE MENU TWICE DAILY
