We have extensive experience sourcing the finest wines directly from Italy, working exclusively with producers who are committed to organic, sustainable, and regenerative agricultural practices.

Our curated selection reflects the diversity and quality of Italian winemaking, and we continuously update our list to bring you the most exceptional bottles available in the market.

Each month, we host intimate wine tastings where we showcase some of the most outstanding Italian wines available in the UK, offering our guests the opportunity to discover new favourites and deepen their appreciation for Italian viticulture.

We also serve amazing cocktails, craft beer and soft drinks.

Single Origin Speciality Coffee

Since we started the business in September 2025, we have built a very close relationship with our coffee roaster Mauro, at Specialty Cafetière.

All coffee beans used at Baruccio are sourced from single estate producers who practice sustainable farming methods. We favour small-batch roasting, to insure the unique terroir and delicate flavours of the origin shine.

Lovingly roasted in North London, our coffee is delivered weekly and brewed with passion and attention to details by our talented baristas.
