Roman Box Set
When it feels that, at last, Spring is coming, our thoughts turn to Rome, the city we return to over and over again.
Right now the Roman markets are full of young pale Broad Beans, Puntarelle is on every restaurant menu, slices of warm focaccia are on tables, and artichokes are being peeled on the sidewalks of small streets .
Shop The River Cafe's first Spring Box Set is full with this food of early spring - Agretti and Tomato, Osso Buco, fresh Peas and Broad Beans. And to make everyone happy, a rich, creamy Tiramisu.
An effortless, delicious meal prepared and cooked by us for you.
