benvenuto

Welcome to Pezzella’s, a space created for the love of Italian food. Not just the food but the culture of food in Italy. Food is not just to satisfy the grumbling stomach and eating is not just the physical act of satisfying that grumble; to eat in Italy is synonymous of conviviality, togetherness – to share a bottle of wine with good friends, exchange stories, use your hands; it is an occasion. Not just that but the story behind the food itself. The melanzane that Nonno grew, watered and tended to daily, picked and is now a revived parmigiana sitting at the dinner table. Food in Italy is less about what sits on the grocer shelf but what your neighbor is growing this season or what is flourishing at the local farmers market or who in the town is slaughtering their pigs next. It is an all encompassing process from paddock to plate.

From our time in Italy, this is what we fell in love with. And what we strive to replicate at Pezzella’s. A small menu with an array of handmade traditional Italian dishes, with ingredients sourced as locally and organically as possible. Here at Pezzella’s we encourage big meals, great company, laughs, stories all shared over a bottle of wine or Negroni or two.
