In Manchester City Centre you can enjoy a unique Italian twist on the classic English afternoon tea in a cosy, charming Mediterranean‑style venue in the Northern Quarter. A talented chef will prepare a selection of delicacies that fuse Italian flavours with the afternoon tea concept. Along the way you will savour small arancini, pizzetta mignon, crispy potato crocchette, sunshine bruschette, savoury cannolicchi filled with ricotta and pistachio, and garlic focaccia.

You will also be offered a variety of sweet treats rooted in Italian pastry traditions. Expect cannolicchi filled with three creams (pistachio, chocolate and white cream), cassatelle siciliane, the iconic sfogliatella napoletana, pistachio and almond pastries, and a mono portion pistachio cake. The experience combines savoury and sweet bites in a relaxed setting, giving you a chance to taste how Italian flavours are reimagined within the afternoon tea format in Manchester’s trendy Northern Quarter.
