A Tavola Gastronomia Siciliana brings the vibrant flavours of Sicily to New Mills. Led by award-winning chef Alessio Muccio, this inviting Italian restaurant is known for its fresh, handmade pasta, gelato and pastries, all created on site using traditional Sicilian recipes. Ingredients are sourced directly from Sicily – including fennel sausage, cheeses and olive oil – alongside produce from trusted local suppliers to ensure dishes are seasonal, authentic and full of character.
The interiors are bright and cheerful, with yellow walls, wooden tables and cobalt blue chairs creating a warm, relaxed dining atmosphere. Shelves stocked with Italian wines and pantry staples add to the trattoria feel, while touches of exposed brick and Sicilian artefacts make the space welcoming and homely. Outdoor seating is available, and the restaurant is dog-friendly, making it ideal for families, couples and groups.
The menu offers antipasti, pasta, mains, pizza and desserts, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options plus a children’s menu. Antipasti might include focaccia topped with anchovies, deep-fried whitebait, beer-battered cod cheeks or chickpea fritters with Sicilian sea salt. Pasta dishes showcase the kitchen’s signature craft, from spaghetti with wild red prawns to twists with crab meat and Sicilian pistachio pesto. Mains include handmade beef-filled pasta, char-grilled fennel sausage, lamb chops, veal scallops and a selection of fresh fish. Pizzas range from classic Margherita to toppings such as garlic mushrooms, Sicilian Parma ham and rocket.
To finish, desserts include gelato and cake of the day, with Sicilian feast menus available for those wanting a full tasting experience. With its joyful atmosphere, freshly made dishes and genuine hospitality, A Tavola brings a warm slice of Sicily to Derbyshire, perfect for relaxed meals, celebrations and family dining.
