About Us
Welcome to our family-run Italian restaurant in the heart of Shirley, where every dish tells a story of tradition, passion, and our roots in Calabria.
Since opening our doors in November 2024, we’ve been dedicated to bringing the warmth of southern Italy to our local community. For us, food is more than just something to eat – it’s family, it’s gathering, and it’s celebrating the little moments together.
At the heart of our kitchen is our handmade pizza dough, crafted fresh in-house every day. We work closely with trusted Italian suppliers to source authentic toppings that capture the true taste of Italy. Alongside our pizzas, we serve a wide range of classic pastas, perfect for indulging and sharing.
To pair with your meal, we offer a selection of Italian beers – Peroni on draft, as well as Peroni and Moretti in bottles. If cocktails are more your style, join us Monday to Thursday for our 2-for-1 cocktail offer – the perfect excuse to unwind with friends and family.
Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed midweek dinner or a lively weekend gathering, we welcome you like family – with hearty plates, friendly faces, and a taste of Calabria right here in Shirley.
