Magari to bring fresh pasta to Wapping Wharf

By Martin Booth  Thursday Mar 10, 2022

Two friends who met during lockdown promise to bring home-cooked Italian food to Wapping Wharf.

Magari co-owners Gilda Lombardi and Delphi Ross met when Delphi was giving Gilda’s Italian-born children some English lessons before they started school.

Gilda was cooking a meal for Delphi when the pair came up with the idea to open a business together.

A drinks menu will feature wine served in carafes and jugs of Spritz, all served with small aperitivo snacks designed to be shared.

“Food is a huge part of our culture in Italy and because of my background I was really born into cooking so opening Magari feels very natural to me,” said Gilda.

“We really want to bring together and celebrate Italy’s dynamic food culture and the amazing local produce that is grown and made in the South West.”

Delphi added: “For Italians, food is a communal activity that brings everyone together with love and laughter and we want a night out at Magari to have that same effect.

“Wapping Wharf has such a great community atmosphere that it makes perfect sense for us to open here.”
