Vorrei

Vorrei is a family-run retailer, specialising in bringing the culture of great tasting, authentic and healthy Italian food to the UK.

Our Story

Founders, Luca and Nicola Pagliaro, lived and worked in Italy for 15 years and know just how fabulous traditional Italian food can be. Often at its best when kept simple and always prepared using fresh, natural ingredients and traditional methods. Vorrei was established to bring the finest Italian food and traditional ingredients to the UK.

Our Philosophy
Traditional Italian culture is to take time to savour and enjoy food. Vorrei supports the Slow Food Movement, an initiative that was founded in Italy to counter the rise of a fast food culture and promote a better way to eat. Many of our products have Slow Food certification.

All of our products are ethically sourced from small-scale farmers who are committed to sustainable farming practices. Many of these farmers have organic certification and some 60% of our range is organic. Our products are not packed with preservatives, artificial colours or flavour enhancers. Even better, because we deal directly with our suppliers, we are able to match our quality with great prices.

We sell Italian food that is good for our customers, good for the people who grow it and good for the environment.
