Founded by Joe Ricotta in 2012, NONNA’S KITCHEN began with an idea that would bring generations of families together to enjoy traditional Sicilian food in the heart of our home town in the UK. Nonna’s is a family run business which prides itself on sourcing the highest quality ingredients to ensure the best flavours for our customers. As you may know Nonna’s Kitchen translated means Grandmother’s Kitchen. As a Sicilian family we wanted to create a little bit of Sicily right here in the UK by bringing together all of our Nonna’s traditional Sicilian recipes.

• Modern European • Winchmore Hill
Booked 7 times today
Carlos@b&v brings the finer side of dining and service to this unique little part of North London, on the Green in Winchmore Hill, a stone's throw from the mainline station of the same name and a short drive from Southgate on the end of the Piccadiily Line. Carlos himself is a restauranteur with flair, having built a reputation in the area over 30 years and so his experience with executing a dynamic and slick establishment brings much to be excited about. Guests will get that familiar 'welcome back' feeling even if they happen to be newcomers. The interiors are comfortably chic but inviting, with a warm ambience and the atmosphere is busy and vibrant. Live music and niche little magic entertainers are a regular occurrence. With an open alfresco feel in the summer, looking out on to the Green itself and a pavement terrace in warmer months too. The menu is Modern European with a specials menu that changes regularly and plenty of choice on the drinks and cocktail menu.
