The Italians: Festive Feasting Italian-Style

The Italians: Festive Feasting Italian-Style

Celebrate Christmas with the best traditional panettone and delicious bespoke and ready-made hampers for all tastes and budgets

You know that Christmas is coming when panettone start to be served at The Italians on the High Road. ‘They are always very popular,’ smiles Massimo Lopez, the Manager. ‘Our panettone are high quality, traditionally made with a variety of flavours and toppings and perfect to enjoy with a coffee or hot chocolate on a cold winter morning.’

Another certain sign of the imminent festive season – and now something of a Chiswick institution – are The Italians’ tempting array of Christmas hampers, a British tradition that Massimo and his team have enthusiastically adopted

‘Back home, we usually just give each other panettone and prosecco,’ he says. ‘This year we have put together five ready-made hampers of different sizes and with different themes. All of them are out on display in the shop and they will include Italian classics such as panettone, pandoro (a sweet bread from Verona), torrone (nougat), panforte (a Tuscan treat made with dried fruits, nuts and spices) balsamic bvinegar, chocolates, prosecco and wine, truffles, coffee, pasta and jams.

‘Of course, if they prefer, customers are most welcome to have a good look around, choose exactly what they want – we’re always happy to answer questions about our independent suppliers and their products – and create a personal hamper,’ explains Massimo.

‘And if it’s more convenient, they can email us their wish list, we’ll collect everything and the hamper can then be picked up at a later date: also, as usual, we will deliver free of charge to any address with a W4 postcode. We would like to wish everyone in Chiswick buon natale!’
