In 2018, the Conte-Cardillo family embarked on a heartfelt journey to recreate and share their cherished Italian dishes from their Cotswold kitchen. With a deep respect for local produce and a passion for their Italian heritage, the family named their endeavour 'Cardillo,' a nod to the word ‘cardillu’ meaning ‘goldfinch.’

This symbol of vibrancy and uniqueness reflects their unwavering commitment to culinary excellence and authentic Italian identity.
At the heart of our offerings is a dedication to crafting exceptional Italian cuisine, made from the finest ingredients sourced from both the Cotswolds and our native Italy.

Each dish we create is a testament to our roots, blending the rich traditions passed down through generations with a modern twist, inspired by the beloved recipes of Nonna Pippi. Our culinary celebration is more than just food—it's a fusion of the rich Italian heritage we treasure and the exceptional local produce of the Cotswolds.

We strive to capture the vibrant, authentic flavours of Italy in every bite, ensuring that our food doesn’t just satisfy—it sings of Italy!
