Individual Restaurants launches three new Piccolo sites across Manchester, Hull and Leeds, located in Next retail sites.
Piccolo’s menus have been crafted by head chef Mark Window, boasting over two decades of industry experience, as well as superior breads and doughs from the hands of award-winning master baker Davide Argentino.
Alongside classic regional Italian dishes, modern twists on the menus reflect the delicious diversity in Italian cuisine, from Neapolitan Mozzarella, ham and pea frittatina; and Paccheri Arrabbiata from Campania to the seafood dishes of Positano and delectable desserts like Delizia al limone, which sings of the Amalfi coast.
Other hero dishes include a Caprese Ravioli with tomato, basil and mozzarella, a Parma Ham (DOP) pizza with butternut squash, walnut and chilli and Wild king prawn guazzetto stew.
Karen Forrester, CEO of Individual Restaurant Company, said of the new openings: “We are excitedly introducing Piccolo by Piccolino, which will deliver authentic Italian food and a world class guest experience to all. With our existing teams at the helm, we look forward to welcoming both existing and new guests to our Italian family home.”
Though celebrating tradition on the menu, guests will find an interior that’s sleek and contemporary, with pops of colour and art inspired by Italy’s unique regions.
