Bring on the Panettone and Prosecco
We are Christmas ready at Ponti’s! 

Our Christmas menu is launched, the panettone has arrived from our specialist supplier in Italy and our beautiful restaurants are trimmed and ready for the most wonderful time of the year!

Enjoying panettone at Christmas is a deep-rooted tradition across Italy, and one we
absolutely embrace here at Ponti’s. This fabulous pastry originates in Milan and we
have sourced ours from the very finest - Vergani, which began its story in a small
Milanese patisserie in Via Monza in 1944. It is one of the last surviving older
producers, and the beautiful recipe is unchanged to this day.
Panettone is traditionally accompanied with a glass of spumante, but we think it
tastes just as good with a cup of English tea – and our chefs tell us it makes the best
bread and butter pudding.

You can take your own slice of authentic Italian Christmas home with you – our
panettone and pandoro are available in our Fox Valley and Oxford Circus
restaurants at £25 each, it makes the perfect gift this Christmas.

Italian comfort food, Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe!

Our heart is always in Emilia Romagna but sometimes our palate wanders a little further to bring you traditional dishes from all corners of Italy. This month our featured dish is a
Roman speciality – Cacio e Pepe and it is as beautiful as it is simple. It was one of Anthony Bourdain’s favourite dishes and who are we to disagree! Cacio e Pepe simply means cheese and pepper. We toast the black pepper in a pan to release the flavour, before creating a
creamy sauce with the spaghetti and a little pasta water – for the cheese, we use 70% pecorino Romano and 30% Parmigiano Reggiano. The combination of homemade pasta and that delicious melted cheesy and peppery sauce is something quite special, it’s becoming a really popular dish again just now in our Oxford Circus restaurant.
