La Fontana

La Fontana Rooted in tradition and shaped by community.

Nestled within the historic Cooperative building in Youlgreave, our pop-up Italian bistro brings the warmth and flavour of traditional Italian kitchens to the heart of the village.

Our bistro is a very cosy place to be on these chilly end of summer evenings. If you don’t fancy a full meal, do stop by for a drink and a small plate or two to share with a friend in our comfy lounge chairs overlooking the beautiful Fountain Square.

We have tables available this Friday & Saturday with sittings at 5.45 & 7.45, come and say hi! A warm welcome, jaunty Italian tunes and delicious treats await you.

We love our veggies here at La Fontana!

From sourcing the best quality we can (and organic where available) to celebrating seasonal delights, you will always find vegetarian options front and centre in our bistro menu.

Our guest favourites include:
🍄‍🟫 Mushroom arancini covered in lashings of Parmesan and garnished with fried sage leaves (totally edible and very delicious)

🫛Broad bean bruschetta, made with our beautiful signature sourdough and topped with creamy burrata

🍅 Isle of Wight tomato salad, dressed with a sweet and punchy balsamic and olive oil dressing (you will want some focaccia to soak up all that lovely sauce!)

We always have a vegetarian pasta main, this week a luxurious Orecchiette alla Norma with a slow cooked tomato sauce, glistening aubergines and crumbled aged ricotta on top.

We can also cater for vegan & dairy-free and gluten-free guests, but as a small team & kitchen with a curated menu it is always best to give us a heads up via DM or email when booking to let us know any requirements. Our chef Giulia always has a trick or two up her sleeve ready to delight our guests.

Planning a group getaway in the Peaks? Here it’s all under one roof!

We have many groups of friends & family that choose to stay in our lovely hostel, bistro and bakery for a weekend break, annual meet-ups or special celebrations, and we do love hosting them!

With stunning Peak District views and walks, quality food made with love and a welcoming community setting, we really do have it all.

Thanks to this lovely bunch for all their support, it was great having you and we’re looking forward to seeing you next year!

Made from scratch, with love ❤️

These beautiful organic tomatoes from the super team at Organic North Wholesalers form the basis of our Orecchiette alla Norma.

This traditional Sicilian pasta dish is served with a slow cooked tomato and basil sauce, fried aubergines (also organic) and served with a luxurious aged ricotta from High Weald Dairy crumbled on top (which happens to be organic too!).

Simple but quality ingredients, cooked with love by Giulia.

Our guests have been loving these new additions to our wine list, courtesy of the brilliant

🍷Saveroni Merlot & Corvina: combines soft blackberry and plum notes with classic red cherry and gentle acidity.

🍷Monte Schiavo Ruviano Verdicchio: features crisp citrus and stone-fruit flavours with a refreshing, saline finish.

Picture a glass or two of wine, a selection of our delightful antipasti or a hearty pasta dish. Late summer evenings in our outdoor seating, nestled in the heart of our beautiful village Youlgrave. Perfetto!

We have some delightful new additions to our dessert menu, lovingly crafted by our Chef:

⭐️ Fig leaf and Raspberry Semifreddo - similar to a Parfait, creamy, fruity and a refreshing end to your meal celebrating Italian summer flavours

⭐️ Baci di Dama biscuits - or ‘Dame Kisses’, a northern Italian sandwich biscuit made with hazelnuts and a chocolate filling (and they pair perfectly with our fabulous Dark Woods Coffee )

Which would you choose?

Little tastes of Italy, served to share 🇮🇹.

On our current platter, we are offering the La Tur cheese, made Caseificio Alta Langa in Piedmont, North West Italy.

It is a blend of cow, goat and sheep milk and is exceptionally creamy, rich and buttery with a slightly tangy flavour.
