Fellini, has opened in Draycott Avenue with a focus on Italian staples and being a a local favourite for residents and businesses alike.
It’s an Italian restaurant & bar, founded by the team behind the 90’s haunts of the same area, Paparazzi Café and Pizza Pomodoro. Both restaurants quickly became synonymous with ‘La Dolce Vita’ lifestyle with many
high profile celebrities often spotted enjoying pizza and a cocktail in discreet corners, photographs
of which are now featured on Fellini’s new website.
Owner/founder, Tony Aalam says, “We like to get to know our customers and what they like – which is why our menu features favourite Italian classics as well as vegan options and of course, home made pizza!.”
Situated away from the hustle and bustle of Draycott Avenue’s commercial end, Fellini offers all day dining to suit business lunches and sociable dinners with friends and family.
This modern dining room, seating 75, features classic retro colours of burnt orange and racing green. Walls are adorned with striking black & white photography, capturing the essence of this romantic era, and naturally a nod to Fellini himself.
The open-plan layout, featuring an open kitchen, provides an interactive dining experience, making it the perfect venue for family gatherings, plus large partiesand special events; whilst comfortable corner booths afford diners a level of intimacy for business
lunches or romantic dinners.
