Our Story

Nicola La Verghetta has worked alongside some of the most influential people in the restaurant business. A key figure was Michael Chow of Mr Chow Knightsbridge, the inspiration behind the concept of “Dining Out” which swept across London.

In July 1990, Nicola opened his first restaurant in a quintessential Oxfordshire town. They quickly became a familiar name and attract clients and regular diners from as far as London to experience the very best of Italian hospitality and dining along with an injection of Nicola’s personal style.
