Italian coffee house · Southwell
Welcome! Benvenuti!
Authentic Italian coffee and fresh Mediterranean food, made with care by Italian owners and chefs.
About us
Alfresco is a local, independently run coffee house founded in 2010 by Italian owners from various regions of Italy — Tuscany, Sicily and Campania — with a passion for authentic Italian coffee.
A menu was then created using fresh local ingredients and Italian food products, with the aim of bringing a taste of Italy to people who appreciate good food and drink.
Coffee
Fact: coffee is the world's second most widely traded commodity.
Alfresco's team know the importance of a good cup of coffee. We use fine-quality, freshly ground coffee beans, well-maintained manual coffee machines and passionate, experienced baristas to craft a perfect, smooth coffee.
From our classic Italian espresso, single or double shot, we create Americanos, smooth lattes and frothy cappuccinos tailored to suit your taste.
Food
The menu reflects a range of Mediterranean influences: traditional lasagne, Neapolitan-style meatballs and Sicilian cannoli.
Ever-popular paninis, toasties, breakfast dishes and a variety of cakes and desserts are all available to eat in or take away.
Allergies and dietary requirements
We offer a number of gluten- and wheat-free dishes for coeliacs — please ask for details. Our staff will be happy to advise and help with any other dietary requirements.
Ice cream
Children and adults can indulge in ice cream and slush all year round — including the Affogato: ice cream drenched with a shot of espresso.
