About Us
Matteo Sbarzella
Born and raised in Colleferro, a charming town just outside Rome, Matteo grew up surrounded by the aromas and traditions of Italian cooking. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, he discovered early on that hospitality wasn’t just a profession, it was in his blood.
Every summer, Matteo crossed the Atlantic to spend time in the United States, learning from his uncle’s restaurants. Those experiences opened his eyes to the energy of international kitchens and the joy of sharing food that tells a story.
After graduating from culinary high school in Rome, Matteo set his sights on London, a city buzzing with opportunity and diversity. His dream was simple but ambitious: to bring the warmth of true Italian hospitality to a new audience.
The Restaurants
What began as a single kitchen on Caledonian Road quickly became a local favourite, celebrated for its honest flavours and genuine welcome. Success led to a second opening in Hackney Wick, and from there, Matteo’s vision took flight.
Today, he proudly operates seven kitchens across London, each one built on the same timeless philosophy: authentic recipes, fresh ingredients, and a passion for sharing real Italian flavour.
Matteo’s journey continues to grow, with new collaborations, bold concepts, and a promise to keep spreading the spirit of Italian dining, one plate at a time.
