Bella Italia has announced that it will soon start serving its own boozy take on the classic British afternoon tea.
Restaurant franchise Bella Italia has announced that it is launching a decadent take on the traditional British afternoon tea. While the historic treat usually consists of dainty sandwiches, fluffy scones and slices of British classics like victoria sponge, Bella Italia’s ‘G&Tea’ is different.
Savoury offerings that will be included in the indulgent treat are mini pizzas named cheesy pizzetta. The tiny versions on everyone’s favourite pizzas will be topped with a choice of delicious vegetables, like sweet roasted red peppers, rich cheese including goat’s cheese and bufala mozzarella, and classic Italian meats like Parma ham.
Instead of the classic scone, Bella Italia will be serving up an interesting fusion of British and Italian favourites. Combining the scone and the beloved panettone, it’s come up with a unique ‘panescone’, which will be served with mascarpone cheese instead of traditional cream and sweet strawberry jam. The afternoon tea is finished off with a range of delicious sweet treats, including classic Italian tiramisu, chocolate and honeycomb brownie, strawberry cheesecake and a tropical coconut panna cotta.
To accompany all of the tempting treats, you’ll have a choice of two alcohol options. You can opt for a classic gin and tonic, which is served up in a cute, little teapot, or a glass of prosecco. If you don’t fancy alcohol, you can also choose to wash it all down with a good old cup of tea.
The afternoon G&Tea will serve two people and costs a very reasonable £24.99. It’s due to be launched in the franchise’s 110 restaurants later this month and will be available any time in the afternoon, making it the perfect summer treat to enjoy with friends and family.
