The Venue

Tommy's Italian is all about sharing good food, a few laughs and a drink or two with friends and family.

Start with wood-fired bread made to order with small plates of local and house-made antipasto. Enjoy our fresh pasta, from a beautiful paccheri arrabbiata with local stracciatella to a slow cooked lamb ragu pappardelle topped with lots of pecorino because we just love pecorino!

We are also serving cooked to perfection Neapolitan style pizza using an Italian style pre-fermentation called Biga. Our dough is fermented from 48 to 72h and has a much better aroma and flavour than normal pizza. Easier to digest too!
