Italian Wine | Speciality Coffee | Delicious Food

Located on vibrant Holywell Hill in the heart of St Albans, Baruccio is an Italian aperitivo bar with an osteria vibe, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The interior is minimalist yet eccentric, designed to transport guests to the effortless feel of an Italian holiday.

By day, we operate as a classic Italian café, serving specialty coffee alongside fresh pastries, cakes, salads, and gourmet focaccia sandwiches. In the evening, we light the candles, bring out our inner demons, and serve exceptional cocktails and wines paired with platters and Italian inspired small bites, using seasonal, local products whenever possible.

We look forward to welcoming you to Baruccio and taking you on a journey of exceptional quality, knowledge, and passion.

Our Wines

We have extensive experience sourcing the finest wines directly from Italy, working exclusively with producers who are committed to organic, sustainable, and regenerative agricultural practices.

Our curated selection reflects the diversity and quality of Italian winemaking, and we continuously update our list to bring you the most exceptional bottles available in the market.

Each month, we host intimate wine tastings where we showcase some of the most outstanding Italian wines available in the UK, offering our guests the opportunity to discover new favourites and deepen their appreciation for Italian viticulture.

We also serve amazing cocktails, craft beer and soft drinks.

Single Origin Speciality Coffee

Since we started the business in September 2025, we have built a very close relationship with our coffee roaster Mauro, at Specialty Cafetière.

All coffee beans used at Baruccio are sourced from single estate producers who practice sustainable farming methods. We favour small-batch roasting, to insure the unique terroir and delicate flavours of the origin shine.

Lovingly roasted in North London, our coffee is delivered weekly and brewed with passion and attention to details by our talented baristas.
