ABOUT Us

Here at Averna, whether you're eating in our East Molesey or Claygate restaurant, our menu is rooted in authenticity, driven by what you’d find people eating all over Italy. Taking inspiration from the Italian table, where people relax, share and enjoy each other’s company.

Our menu is packed full of fresh, delicious, home-made dishes, including comforting bowls of pasta, beautiful fresh salads and pizzas. 

Our daily ritual, includes making all of our bread and pasta fresh, every morning, every day of the week. Working with suppliers, to get the best local produce, so by the time all of this hits your plate, you can taste the love and attention that goes into our preparation. 

We have two restaurants. Our first is in East Molesey, a short walk from Hampton Court Palace, has been at the heart of local cuisine for nearly 20 years. Our second is in Claygate, near Esher in Surrey. 

Both restaurants offer the Italian table approach, with a real authentic Italian atmosphere. As well as our main menu, we also have a special Piccolo menu for kids and our daily chef's specials, that offer a little twist from the normal.
