A Christmas Menu Filled with Stories, Comfort, and Italian Inspiration

Winter Tales
Every cup of Winter Tales feels like a gentle hug. Made with smooth illy espresso, steamed milk, and subtle chai spices, this seasonal drink finishes with a light, crunchy hint of hazelnut. It’s warm, aromatic, and perfect for taking a quiet pause in between busy festive errands.

Pistachio Pain Suisse
This pastry may look bold with its dark charcoal layers, but its charm lies in the silky pistachio filling hidden inside. The Pistachio Pain Suisse brings together flaky buttery pastry and rich nutty cream something you’ll want to enjoy slowly, ideally with a fresh illy brew beside it.

Orange & Cinnamon Tiramisu Cake
Inspired by classic Italian tiramisu, this version layers espresso-soaked sponge and mascarpone cream with a festive twist: a touch of orange zest and cinnamon. The result is a bright, fragrant dessert that feels familiar yet new like holiday traditions refreshed with a little sparkle.

Creamy Chicken Baked Macaroni
Nothing says comfort like a warm baked dish. illy’s version uses Barilla macaroni coated in a rich blend of cheeses, topped with Chicken Bolognaise, and baked until perfectly golden. It’s hearty without being heavy, making it a satisfying choice for lunch or a cosy dinner.

Carbonara Focaccia
Soft Italian focaccia meets creamy carbonara in this simple yet indulgent creation. The focaccia is spread generously with carbonara sauce, cheese, and crispy chicken ham bringing together textures and flavours that are both familiar and comforting.
