Based beneath the arches of Westgate Street in London’s Hackney, northern Italian enogastronomia Il Cudega continue their journey from Lombardy to London with the launch of a specialist events and catering service.
Now catering bespoke events with a Lombard charm onsite and offsite, the team’s passionate love of food and wine can be enjoyed for private or business events.
Opened in autumn 2015 with a menu dedicated entirely to the dishes and produce of the Italy’s northernmost region, Il Cudega serves as both a café for sit down meals and as a deli for take away produce and freshly-prepared meals to enjoy at home.
Run by Italian born Giovanni Brighi, a local Hackney resident of 20 years, and his Milanese business partner, Luca Gaggioli, Il Cudega offer an original selection of charcuterie, cheeses and wines imported directly from handpicked ‘slow food’ producers in Lombardy.
Allowing their specially sourced produce to inspire original menus served onsite within the café or courtyard, or at a location of your choice.
Events can range from hosted drinks receptions reminiscent of Milanese aperitivo hours with premium cheeses and charcuterie, to formal sit down dinners served in a traditional, leisurely Italian style with signature dishes of Vitel Toné and Risotto alla Milanese.
