Close on the heels of its illustrious siblings, Little Italy and Bar Italia in Soho, Nolita has carved a niche for itself in the heart of Hatfield residents and even beyond. Relax with a cup of coffee on the terrace during summer months and let your hair down on weekends as they host dinner dances until late. If that extra glass of Laurent-Perrier Brut beckons, just go for it - their courtesy car service comes handy if you live around the area and want to avoid the hassle of driving home.

Start off with a prawn cocktail 'mojito style' with fresh lime and watercress, or the deep fried fresh squid and tiger prawns served with homemade tartar sauce. A pasta course of paccheri with a Scotch beef fillet Ragú made with Barolo wine, and then drizzled with Parmesan shavings could precede a main course of crispy pork belly with a parsnip mash and apple sauce.
