It' a special culinary experience created for Pistachio LOVERS, three-course set menu. There are two savoury antipasti to choose from; arancino stuffed with cheese, served with a creamy pistachio sauce and topped with parmesan and pistachio flakes, and pistachio cannolicchi - small savoury cannoli filled with fresh Sicilian ricotta served with a pistachio pesto sauce. There are three mains to choose from; tagliatelle served with creamy pistachio pesto, mortadella and parmesan, gnocchi with creamy pistachio, basil and peanut pesto with parmesan, and ravioli filled with creamy sheep's ricotta and spinach in a homemade pistachio sauce topped with pistachio flakes. For dessert, you can choose from brioche gelato sandwich, layered pistachio cake, cannolo stuffed with pistachio cream, or the legendary pistachio gelato.

Start with a welcome drink and a reserved table before stepping behind the bar to craft your own cocktails. With expert guidance, you’ll shake, pour, and garnish two cocktails of your choice. Expect prosecco on arrival, hands-on fun, and plenty of laughs — it’s interactive, lively, and made for groups.

Food Escapes are for people who want a unique experience in the city. A lot of walking tours or food tours can feel like you're being shown around but a Food Escape will feel like you are discovering the city for yourself in a novel way, with your choices shaping the route you take as the game unfolds. You'll have easier and harder challenges along the way, all the satisfaction of cracking each clue, and the reward of great food waiting when you get there. Food Escapes was built by locals for locals, to explore and eat in their own city in a way they never otherwise would have seen, but is ideal for any visitors to the city who are food lovers too who want something more memorable than another table booking or generic activity.
