Il Forno launches Liverpool’s first Bottomless Bocconcini with unlimited Italian cocktails and small plates

Il Forno, a mainstay on Duke Street for more than 20 years, is launching ‘Bottomless Bocconcini’ – and it’s arriving just in time for the weekend.

Starting Friday 25 April, diners can enjoy 90 minutes of bottomless Italian small plates at Il Forno, paired with unlimited drinks – including Prosecco, wines, beer, Italian spritz and a selection of cocktails – all for just £40 per person.

Available every Friday from 4pm to 9pm and Saturdays from 12pm to 4pm, Il Forno’s new offering is perfect for those looking to kickstart their weekend with a taste of Italy. Expect a spread of authentic antipasti including freshly baked focaccia, Caesar salad, mixed bruschetta, and small plates of the restaurant’s signature pasta dishes.

On the drinks side, guests can choose from a variety of Italian spritz options – think Aperol, Limoncello and Hugo – plus Pornstar and Espresso Martinis, alongside Prosecco, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic alternatives.

Il Forno has long been known for its traditional Italian cooking, with handmade pizza from its custom-built oven, hearty pasta dishes, indulgent Sunday roasts and an impressive wine and cocktail list. Whether you’re heading out for a date night, catching up with mates or celebrating something special, Bottomless Bocconcini adds a new way to enjoy everything Il Forno has to offer.

There are also plenty of spaces to suit every kind of gathering – from intimate dinners in the conservatory or terrace to big celebrations in the private dining room, which seats up to 20 guests and is ideal for birthdays, baby showers or even a small wedding party.

Owner Paolo Cillo said:

“Il Forno’s Bocconcini are small, delicious bites taken from our A La Carte menu. From focaccia and Caesar salad to our freshly made pasta, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Guests can try a variety of dishes while sipping on Italian spritz or a glass of wine – it’s all about relaxing, sharing and enjoying great food with great company.”
