Our New Autumn and Winter Menu
PANE & OLIVE
Everyone has a favourite smell that reminds them of home and mine is the smell of baked bread. My grandfather built a wood-burning oven in his garden & many local people used to bring him simple ingredients like flour, yeast, salt & extra virgin olive oil for him to make breads or pizza in exchange for meat, fish or cheeses
