Our story
Frizzante Cafe is styled on the typical Italian agriturismo where the food used in the restaurant, including meat, vegetables, oil and wine is almost entirely produced on the farm. Although our gardens aren’t large enough to support our growing demand, we aim to source all our ingredients from small and local suppliers. Locally roasted coffee, community vegetable schemes and independent fresh fish suppliers all provide unique flavours and allow us to offer the best quality products.
Owing to our Italian heritage, we source all our wines and olive oil from small-scale Italian producers, some being organic and bio-dynamic. The wines, available for our evening supper nights and special events offer a sample of the diverse Italian wine culture.
All of our food is freshly cooked on the premises using seasonal ingredients and, whenever possible, ingredients from Hackney Farm gardens. From fresh pasta and salads to Sunday roasts, delicious homemade cakes, locally made Italian style ice-cream and English fruit juices.
We often receive great write-ups in the local and national press, and as an independent local business, we’re really proud to be part of the ever-growing East London food scene.
