The award-winning Italian restaurant and fast-casual food brand Indegno is to open in the UK in November.
The news comes on the back of impressive growth across its three locations in Bologna, Italy, since the company’s formation back in 2019.
The brand specialises in the crescentina – a traditional, humble, dish from Emilia Romagna consisting of delicious fried dough that comes filled with high-quality and fresh Italian ingredients. Indegno promises to offer an inclusive Italian experience, offering ingredients with true provenance to every visitor at its first London location set to open in Shoreditch.
Indegno has seen strong success despite the impact of the pandemic, with turnover having grown 187 per cent from 2021-2022 alone. Co-Founded by Andrea Liotta, Edoardo Malvincini and later joined by Marco Liotta, a Michelin-star pastry chef, a bar manager and a lawyer respectively, Indegno expanded to two further locations in Bologna in 2022 and now employs 14 staff members.
Andrea Liotta, Co-Founder of Indegno, said: “Launching our first UK venue is a really important milestone in the story of Indegno, and something that we have worked incredibly hard to achieve since the opening of our first store on Via del Pratello in Bologna.”
Indegno’s mouthwatering signature dishes include the Indegna, a classic crescentina filled with artisanal mortadella sausage made in Bologna with handmade parmesan cream. For those looking for an extreme crescentina experience, guests can indulge in the rich 50 Special, a crescentina formed of grilled porchetta, homemade potato croquette, caramelised onions and melted scamorza cheese.
