👵🏻 Every dish on Lygon Street has a postcode somewhere in Italy.
The food that built Carlton's Little Italy didn't come from one place. It came from Sicily and Calabria, from Campania and Veneto, carried across oceans in the hands of families who brought their recipes, their instincts, and their insistence on doing things properly. Nonna's kitchen travelled a long way to get here, and you can taste every kilometre of the journey. 🍝💚
