In 2018, the Conte-Cardillo family set out to bring their cherished Italian dishes to life from their kitchen in the Cotswolds. With a deep respect for local ingredients and a love for their Italian heritage, they named their venture Cardillo, inspired by ‘cardillu’—goldfinch—a symbol of vibrancy and authenticity.
Their passion lies in blending tradition with a modern touch, using the finest ingredients sourced from both Italy and the Cotswolds. Every dish is crafted with care, drawing inspiration from the treasured recipes of Nonna Pippi, passed down through generations.
More than just food, their creations celebrate the rich flavours of Italy, ensuring that each bite offers a true taste of their culinary heritage.
