Entrée
A beginning with deep roots.
Antipasti have ancient origins. Once meant to accompany the wait and prepare the palate, they’ve become a true gesture of hospitality. It’s the moment when the table opens, flavours awaken, and everything starts to take shape.
In Italian culture, they’re more than a first course they’re an invitation to share, to connect, and to ease into the rhythm of the meal with warmth and simplicity.
At Italicious, we honour this tradition with carefully chosen ingredients, regional recipes, and flavours that speak of home and heritage.
Welcome to Italicious.
