About

Step into La Vecchia Scuola’s restaurant, where you'll enjoy exquisite cuisine. The breathtaking view adds a touch of magic to your dining experience, and is just one of the many reasons you'll cherish your time here. Whether you seek a moment of relaxation over a steaming cup of coffee or a light lunch, or you are visiting in the evening for a laid-back night with live music and a delicious menu, the team aims to create lasting memories for you. From contemporary Italian culinary delights and spectacular desserts to a curated selection of fine wines sourced from the cellar, as well as an array of beers and spirits from the well-stocked bar, the team are wholeheartedly committed to providing you with nothing but the finest.

Nestled within a 300-year-old historic building, La Vecchia Scuola restaurant has a storied past that weaves through time. This charming building has been many things in its long history, from serving as the residence of a prominent doctor to housing a distinguished lawyer. Remarkably, the roots of this building stretch back even further to Roman times, when a fortress proudly stood on the very site.

Begin your meal with some pre-starters, including some chargrilled house bread with goats’ cheese topped with garlic sautéed mushrooms and rocket. Starters include pan fried king prawns and pepperoni salsiccia stagionata in a rich chilli Napoli sauce served with garlic pizza bread and balsamic rocket, smoked salmon with York gin splash, lemon parsley mayo, lime pickled red onion, balsamic crostini, smoked rock salt and olive oil dressed pea shoots and a delicious belly of pork glazed on honey and apple cider.

Don't miss the delicious tagliatelle carbonara made the right way with pan fried guanciale finished in a creamy Grana Padano sauce tossed with tagliatelle pasta topped with lightly poached egg yolk. Pizza lovers may choose the burrata option, consisting of San Marzano tomato sauce, basil, fior di latte, creamy burrata cheese, mortadella, rocket and lemon zest.
