6 Course Pasta Tasting Menu & 8 Course Traditional Tasting Menu

Listed in the
Michelin Restaurant Guide 2010



We are Francesca & Anson and our Italian Restaurant (Trattoria) is located on the High Street of Lyndhurst in the Heart of the New Forest.

In Italy a typical trattoria is a style of restaurant, only less formal. During the Romans time, people travelling for an official mission, were given a document, called “littera tractoria”. They needed to show this document in order to receive food from the specific dispatchers that ended up being called Trattorie.
Nowadays, Trattorie are generally family run restaurants, where the atmosphere is friendly and casual, and people expect to find good traditional food.
We offer authentic Italian cooking, in particular from Emilia Romagna (a northern Italian region), using the best and freshest ingredients. We’ll use the best Italian cheeses, cured meats and wines and extremely high quality olive oils that can't currently be found anywhere else in the UK, but shop locally for the best quality seasonal (organic when possible) ingredients.

The typical Italian meal is divided into four courses:


Antipasti / Appetizers
Primi Piatti / Pasta course
Secondi piatti / meat or fish course
Contorni / side dishes
Dolci / Desserts

..and yes, Italians would normally eat a four courses meal!!

Our pasta is freshly hand made (we actually make it ourselves!), like the bread, the desserts and everything else on our menu.
Our menu is delicious but simple to ensure our service is efficient and our food is fresh. Each dish is individually prepared, the way you will expect it to be in Italy (not in the usual Italian restaurant abroad!).


Our wine is specially selected to bring a variety of excellent Italian wines that best accompanies our food.


Corporate and private events can be booked which we are happy to discuss with you.



Literally Fra Noi means among us. It also means “between us”, implying complicity, solidarity. It’s about sharing a dream, an experience, and doing something with the help and support of your dearest friends and family.
