Roots + Seeds Kitchen Garden co-founders, Toby Baggott and Sam Lawson-King, have teamed up with renowned Michelin-starred chef proprietor, Mike Robinson, of London’s Harwood Arms, The Woodsman in Stratford-upon-Avon and The Elder in Bath, to open a new pizzeria for Cirencester – CATTIVO.
Open to the public on Friday 2nd August from 3pm, CATTIVO (meaning (‘bad boys’ in Italian)will offer a concise, but indulgent menu of six classic Neapolitan-style 12” pizzas made using 48-hour, handmade and preferment dough for ultimate flavour, with a choice of two meat, two veg, one fish-based and one seasonally changing, and all garnished with incredible flavour combinations, whilst championing seasonality and provenance.
Cooked in a new, state-of-the-art Gozney wood-fired pizza oven at 450°C to ensure chewy crusts and blistered bases smothered with traditional favourites and more innovative garnishes, Mike’s pizzas include his own homemade venison N’duja (using deer raised on the nearby Bathurst estate) and drizzled with honey from Mike’s own hives. Other locally-sourced ingredients include Glastonbury Fior di Latte cow’s milk mozzarella, foraged herbs and freshly picked produce from Roots + Seeds’ own ¼ acre, on-site kitchen garden.
Other key ingredients sourced direct from Italy include aged Parmesan cheeses, Mutti Passata, Burrata, Single Estate Extra Virgin olive oil and San Marzona tomatoes for CATTIVO’s home-made pizza sauce.
Also on the menu, two home-made dips and two desserts, Nonna’s Tiramisu and Panozzo (pizza sandwich) with Nutella, wood roasted fig and peaches, served with homemade Madagascan Vanilla Ice Cream. All priced from £14 to £16 each. Every pizza will be made to order!
Behind the CATTIVO counter, award winning pizzaiolo, Farncesco Fotia. *A pizzaiolo is a chef specialising in and trained to make authentic Italian-style pizzas.
Drinks include two pre-made and bottled cocktails made in-house by drinks supremo Sam Lawson-King, including a Spicy Margherita and an Old Fashioned, a small but carefully curated wine list, consisting of independent Italian wines served by the glass and the bottle, along with locally produced beers, ales and soft drinks – all stored in Cattivo’s help-yourself fridge.
*Sustainability – Kiln-dried oak for the Gozney wood-fired pizza oven is sourced from the Bathurst estate, right on its doorstep, and all pizza boxes, plates, glassware, drinking straws, paper menus and serviettes are recyclable.
