The Italians are known for their robust, vibrant fare that celebrates fresh produce, traditional cooking and a host of flavours over long conversations. No wonder they even have a word for the water ring left on a surface as a result of condensation (culaccino).

And celebrating this spirit of traditional Italian cooking is Sorrentina (named after the coastal town of Sorrento) at the Foodhall flagship store on Linking Road, Santacruz West.
