A bit about us-"We opened the cafe in February of 2005 in Witney, a small but bustling town on the edges of the Cotswolds. Our idea was to create a warm and friendly daytime cafe, serving fantastic and genuine Italian food. We wanted to make it a place run by us, something completely differnet to the chain store "Italian" restaurants around today. Tony was born and raised in Messina in Sicily and he is passionate about providing our customers with the same food he eats at home with his family. Our menu is made up of traditional favourites and his new creations. Come and have a try, we'll give you a very warm welcome."
