Starters to set the tone
Start your Christmas dinner with one of our mouth-watering starters, guaranteed to warm you up for the festivities ahead:
Zuppa Coda di Bue
This slow-cooked oxtail and butter bean soup is pure comfort in a bowl. Enhanced with fragrant white truffle oil and served with grilled torn focaccia and pecorino cheese, it’s a dish that Liv calls “the ultimate winter warmer.”
Il Pate’ alla Cacciatora
Indulge in this velvety chicken liver parfait, served with a sweet port and fig chutney, crispy bread brittle, and fresh winter garden leaves. A sophisticated starter with a festive twist.
Involtino di Salmone (GF)
Seafood lovers will adore this smoked salmon and prawn roulade. The creamy lemon and chive ricotta, candied cucumber, and zesty citrus gel make this dish as refreshing as it is indulgent.

Our festive mains are where the magic truly happens. Whether you’re looking for a twist on traditional Christmas fare or something a little different, our top picks have you covered:
Spaghetti alla Tacchino

Handmade spaghetti, tender turkey escalope, a rich Taleggio glaze, fennel sausage, roast chestnuts, and cranberries create a dish bursting with festive flavour.
Filetto di Maiale (GF)
This pan-seared pork fillet, wrapped in Parma ham, is served with creamy savoy cabbage, sautéed potatoes, and a cider jus. It’s a dish that Liv describes as “elegant, hearty, and full of festive cheer.”
