Our menu is made up of tasty Italian dishes from pizza, pasta and risotto to salads and indulgent desserts but always with a twist – like a classic Carbonara with a chorizo crumb or a traditional garlic bread with mozzarella & ‘Nduja sausage.

Altro Mondo started back in 2009 by Massimo Torre and his manager Carlos Ferreira, who both brought passion to serve Authentic Italian food to Leicester!

Altro Mondo is based in the centre of Leicester two minutes from the Curve theatre.  We offer Authentic Italian Cuisine in the heart of Leicester!

Peters Pizzeria

http://www.peterpizzeria.co.uk/

The pizza you see today is usually deep-pan, thin & crispy or stuffed crust – but these are more modern, American varieties; aka ‘imposters’. Peter pizza is authentic, traditional, Neapolitan pizza – the original and best, made fresh on site each day for you.

We go above and beyond to make our pizza as authentic as possible.

Our bases are made from hand-shaped, fermented sourdough which use caputo flour (said to be the best in the world), and our ingredients are either sourced from Italy, or locally in Leicestershire.

Our restaurant decor is fun, modern and quirky, with eye catching artwork, exposed brick work and upcycled furniture – somewhere you won’t forget in a hurry.

Merchant of Venice

So, prepare to step onto the stage of the city’s most imaginative new coffee adventure at 173-175 Granby Street, Leicester, LE1 6FE.

Because, nearly 500 years since the Venetians became the first to embrace café life, we’ve created a special space that’s inspired by Shakespeare’s classic tale.

It’s for the cognoscenti. It’s for everyone who appreciates that barista is an Italian word!
