Located in the heart of Hockley, Pici offers a relaxed and characterful setting for venue hire in Nottingham, ideal for hosting a range of events, from birthday celebrations and engagement parties to corporate events and informal team gatherings. With its lively atmosphere, thoughtful food and laid-back approach, this is a venue that suits groups looking for quality dining without formality.
Food is at the centre of every event here, with menus designed around sharing and sociable dining. Fresh pasta is made daily, alongside pizzettes and small plates inspired by the team’s favourite European neighbourhood restaurants. For group bookings, Pici offers a generous feasting menu that makes hosting easy, featuring snacks such as olives and melon, small plates including barbecue hispi cabbage and ratte potatoes, and pizzettes topped with garlic butter and Parmigiano. Pasta dishes might include Pici cacio e pepe or pappardelle with lamb ragu, followed by wood-fired half chicken with leek vinaigrette and aioli, before finishing with classic tiramisu.
Drinks are equally well considered, with a carefully curated selection of low-intervention wines, classic spritzes and quality beers that pair naturally with the food.
The main restaurant can be hired exclusively for private events, or partially reserved for larger tables seeking a semi-private experience within the space. For more intimate occasions, there is also a private dining room available for up to 12 guests.
Interiors are simple, warm and welcoming, with natural light, booth seating and subtle lighting creating an energetic but comfortable feel. Whether you’re planning a relaxed celebration with friends, a work event centred around good food and conversation or a casual private party in one of Nottingham’s most creative neighbourhoods, Pici offers flexible venue hire that feels modern, social and effortlessly inviting.
