Amano.
Directions Call Email Menus Booking

From artisan bakers handcrafting pastries in the morning, through to oysters and gelato at night, Amano is an unbeatable source of local flavours with an international twist.

Amano means both “made by hand” and “with love” in Italian and this suits the spot perfectly, for every thing here is handmade with love.

Head baker Dan Cruden oversees the bakery, where the menu evolves throughout the day. Mornings open with a nod to France; glistening pain aux raisins, Paris brests and other pastries fill the cabinets, before hearty Italian sandwiches, seasonal soups, salads and pizza-by-the-slice are introduced for lunch.

As the sun sets, one end of the bakery develops into an aperitivo bar where you can indulge in a negroni or aperol spritz alongside pre-dinner snacks. This area then becomes a cosy den for diners to retreat with cheese and a digestif after dinner.

The bistro’s airy 120-seat dining room channels old-world Italy with a modern twist. Terrazzo tiles and Italian marble complement charming heritage features.
