Our story
Frizzante cafe is styled on the agriturismo’s in Italy where the farm restaurant offered all produce grown on the farm, meats, vegetables, wines and oils. Although our gardens aren’t large enough to support a similar enterprise in East London we aim to source all our ingredients from smaller suppliers. Locally roasted coffee, community vegetable schemes and independent fresh fish suppliers all provide local unique flavours and the variety and quality from these suppliers always amazes us.
With our Italian heritage we source all our wines and olive oils from smaller Italian producers, some being organic and bio-dynamic. The wines, available at our evening supper nights and special events offer a wonderfully unique taste.
All of our food is freshly cooked on the premises using seasonal ingredients and whenever possible ingredients from the 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 fantastic East London food scene.
