NAPOLI COMES TO CANARY WHARF

You’ll find Café Brera Terrace nestled amongst the trees at Cabot Square, with theatre open kitchen making handmade  pizza and pasta, grills and Cicchetti right from the oven in front of you.

Andrea Cirino presents an ode to authentic Italian regional cooking from the side streets in Spacca, to the coast of Napoli, Andrea brings a fresh approach to Italian cooking and flavours. Here you will find those special dishes from the family run cafes in Italy, the ones you stumble upon whilst wandering the small cobbled streets of Napoli.

But don’t take our word for it. Come and try our menu where you will find dishes such as Spigola al forno con vongole e lenticche (oven baked seabass, with clams, lentils and chilli and garlic), or Spaghetti ai Gamberi zucchini e limone di Amalfi (fresh spaghetti with king prawns, courgette and Amalfi lemon). There’s also a selection of antipasti to get you started with classics such as Mozzarella in carrozza con Pomodoro e crème di Basilico. The ingredients are all authentic Italian but don’t expect to get your dish served up old style; Andrea takes a modern swing at all dishes to bring you something out of the ordinary and unexpected.

You know how we all like surprises?

Big dishes, like the Pollo al Forno con Patate e Cipolle, roast chicken with potatoes and roast onion and Lasagne di verdure con crema di ceci al rosmarino, vegetable lasagne with chickpeas and rosemary won’t be any ordinary roast chicken and vegetable lasagne – expect an explosion of colour and flavour on your plate.  

Cucina Napoli opens Monday 3^rd September evenings from 5pm onwards serving a 3-course menu at £25 per person. You can find out more and make a booking on their website.
