A new cafe is bringing something different to Beeston with a menu of Sicilian street food and patisserie served with "passion and love". Compa will throw open its doors on SaturdayMay 21) after transforming the former Renaissance Fashion Agency.
The tight-knit band of family and friends behind the cafe say it's the real deal - from their accents to the authentic Sicilian delights on the menu such as cornetto, arancina, cannolo and cassatina. Beeston has its fair share of Italian restaurants - lively Amores, the intimate L'Oliva and new 150-seater Ottimo - but there's nothing else quite like this.
Compa - pronounced with the emphasis on the 'pa' - is the brainchild of best friends Angela Aiello and Manola Perez, who have known each other for 25 years. The duo first met while working in high end Italian department store Rinascente in their home city Palermo.
