ABOUT

An Oxford institution since 2000, our restaurant, deli, cafe, bar and garden are a ten minute walk from the city centre in the cosmopolitan neighbourhood of Jericho.

Spread across three adjoining sites, we’re across the road from the Phoenix Cinema and Port Meadow is nearby.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

OUR SECOND HOME

Branca has become our favourite restaurant. Amazing staff, amazing food and lovely atmosphere. I love the mean time ales and the king prawn bruschetta is to die for. Awesome risottos, always great specials and we're made to feel so relaxed. It's rare nowadays to find a restaurant that is consistently good.

INTELLIGENT & RESTRAINED

The menu was intelligent and restrained, much better than those students deserve.

Giles Coren, The Times

DELICIOUS FOOD & AFFORDABLE PRICES

We opted to try the lunch menu and could not have chosen wiser. The offer is wide and you can mix and match as you please. We opted to try a risotto with pumpkin (spectacular), a pizza (probably the best pizza I have tried in Oxford), some vegetarian antipasti and pasta. Everything was simply delicious, and the price for the lunch menu is very affordable.

BUSY & WELCOMING

"A cheering place to be – on a cold Sunday night when all other Oxford cafés we surveyed were deserted, it was busy and welcoming”, was how one visitor summed up this good-natured all-day Italian eatery. The unfussy mood is matched by competitive prices and you can get a taste of things to come from the cicchetti (small plates of, say, king prawns or salt cod crocchette) that kick-start proceedings here. Pasta and pizza are first class, while bream, 28-day dry-aged ribeye, and specials such as “top-class’ guinea fowl supreme.
