Sapori di Puglia prodotti tipici pugliesi e non solo.

La ditta IAVAZZO nasce grazie all'intuito del suo fondatore Francesco Perfetto che, negli anni '60, decise di intraprendere quest'attività in un settore commerciale quasi totalmente inesplorato.

Molti definirono quella iniziativa "un azzardo", ma da allora questa frase è stata legata molto spesso alle scelte imprenditoriale della IAVAZZO. Anche oggi, infatti, i figli del fondatore Nicola, Antimo e Pietro, che alla fine degli anni '80 ereditarono dal padre la gestione dell'impresa di famiglia, continuano ad investire nella ricerca e nell'invenzione delle più svariate forme e dimensioni per i propri prodotti.

About Us

Established in 1987, we are an independent, family run traditional Italian restaurant

based at the start of Compstall Road in Romiley, Stockport. Specialising in rustic Italian

home style cooking, open evenings only - 5pm till 10pm everyday except Monday.

Who is the Italian?

Originally from Naples, owner Ferdinando Mercogliano studied at catering schools in Vico Equense and in the centre of Naples before working across Italy and Switzerland, settling in England in the early 80’s.

Our recipes and the ideology behind everything we do and make come from Ferdinando. Many of the dishes we make here today are made the same way that he learnt from his mother and grandmother. Hailing from a part of Naples famous for its pasta making history, cooking is in the Mercogliano family blood.

Now a grandfather, Ferdinando is based both here in Stockport and in Lucca, Tuscany. Sharing his time between Italy and England means Ferdinando guarantees constant fresh and original menu ideas, using the best local and seasonal ingredients. Trusting the day to day running of the kitchen to a carefully selected fantastic team of chefs.

In charge of the restaurant you will find his eldest son Alessandro. A true typical Italian family business!

Ferdinando's deep passion for Italian cooking is infectious and it has truly passed down in the generations of his family. Our heads, hands and hearts are firmly in the kitchen and we are driven to offer customers good food, value for money and a true taste of Italy.

​

Now well into our 37th year of trading here in Romiley, we are more passionate than ever for what we do. We have recently expanded, and we now have 8 more tables in a new downstairs area. Complete with another bar, facilities and our usual friendly service.

Our philosophy is simplicity, quality, authenticity and big flavours, in a fun and bustling typical southern Italian environment. With us you will always be guests and never customers. Learning and growing day by day, we are truly humbled by your regular custom.

Here's to the next 37 years of bringing Italy to Romiley!

La norcineria
Laboratorio moderno, lavorazione artigianale.
La storia aziendale è fatta di cose semplici, di lavoro di passione e genuinità; erano gli anni ‘60 quando Lino inizia a produrre porchetta seguendo i metodi tradizionali.

Oggi nel moderno laboratorio di Patrica, Gianni e Nicholas continuano con impegno e professionalità a seguire i metodi e la tradizione dell’arte norcina osservando standard di qualità elevati.

Ogni giorno dal laboratorio escono prodotti stagionati e confezionati per intenditori e buongustai; sulle tavole degli italiani, al ristorante e nelle gastronomie o a casa.

“The Wolf” è una tipica trattoria di montagna a conduzione famigliare, che punta a proporre piatti t ipici della tradizione, ma andando incontro alle richieste dei clienti, personalizzando i menù e proponendo piatti di tipo vegetariano e vegano, ma suggerendo anche menù festivi e a tema.

Oltre a ristorante, è anche bar e pizzeria con forno a legna attivo durante i mesi di bella stagione, ma spesso anche durante l’anno.

L’obiettivo è accontentare il cliente per quanto possibile, reperendo prodotti da fornitori selezionati e, il più possibile di zona.

The Italian Gelato

The History of Gelato originates back as far as the Roman Empire consisting of crushed ice mixed with honey & fruit. Centuries later the real triumph occurred during the Renaissance period with food artist Bernardo Buontalenti, a native of Florence, Italy, creating a frozen cream made with milk and eggs that became legendary with the locals and tourists.

Today in Italy, from big cities like Rome to small villages in the country side of Tuscany, a Gelato shop is present in every corner ready to satisfy the sweet tooth with a cool, creamy, cone or cup of luscious Gelato. At Voga we adhere to this 2000-year-old tradition with recipes that contain only the purest and all natural ingredients from Italy.
The way we approach Gelato

At Voga we have a wide range of flavors which are made fresh in our store every day. We use only the  highest quality ingredients and hand selected products, while continuing to follow the old traditional Italian recipes.

To ensure the freshness, quality and creaminess of our Gelato, we produce small quantities at different times throughout the day, resulting in a fresh and authentic taste experience everytime you visit.

Artificial flavorings,

Meeting the Founders

Gelato is an event.

I was born and raised in the Gelato capital of the world, Rome, Italy.

In the summertime when I was a kid, my mothers daily reward was a “20 lire” coin meant for buying a Gelato.  I’d jump on my bike and my friend Anna and I would pedal as fast as we could for blocks until finally landing at our favorite traditional Italian coffee shop for a Gelato.

Every day the request was the same, “a cone with whipped cream on the bottom, a scoop of Chocolate and whipped cream again on top” – Panna, Cioccolato e Panna. I’m still able to remember the taste of that unforgettable, ceremonial, daily ritual.

Decades later, on a beautiful summer day in Aspen, Colorado with my two daughters, we waited on line for 30 minutes to enjoy an ice cream at a local coffee shop. After the last bite was consumed, there was a unanimous decision made:  

 “We have to open an Italian Gelato shop in America!”  

Over the next decade, my career had been focused on International business, finance, corporate strategy, lecturing and writing books on business management. While currently still involved as a global corporate advisor, our families dream became a reality when my beautiful wife, Geraldine and I opened VOGA Italian Gelato in 2017.  

Please visit, relax & enjoy all the goodness we are serving at VOGA.
