Transport your tastebuds to the lush Italian vineyards and savour dishes that would make Nonna proud. Napoli serve authentic pizza, fresh from their woodfired oven.

Dive into pillows of gnocchi, swimming in rich Napolitano sauce at Cielo Italiano.  Sail to the Greek Islands and dine on lamb kleftiko and spiced eggplant at Rustica. Feast on a moorish Spanish banquet of chorizo, paella and churros at Bocados, then head home for a well-deserved siesta. Good food can only be matched with good company, so gather the squad over sharing platters.

America

Bust out your cowboy hat and dig into a rack of sticky Texan ribs or smoky pulled pork at The Lucky, or The Grain Store. Savour the crunch of crispy batter and explosion of juicy chicken at Rascal’s.

Head south of the border and add some spice to your life with Antojitos tantalising Mexican menu.
