Osteria Da Bruno x Mortadeli | Our First Residency of 2026
What better way to kick off 2026 than with our first ever Osteria da Bruno residency at Mortadeli Torquay?
What started as a fun way to showcase our vision for authentic Italian hospitality quickly evolved into something much bigger, a true expression of Osteria da Bruno by Bruno 1956
Across three incredible nights, we welcomed over 130 guests, sold out all five seatings in just one week, and saw an exceptional turnout from the local community. But beyond the numbers, what made this activation special was the opportunity to completely transform the Mortadeli space. Working closely with their team, we turned the venue into a true Osteria da Bruno complete with the Cortile da Bruno outdoor area on Friday night creating an atmosphere that felt cohesive, welcoming, and unmistakably “Bruno’s.”
The concept behind Osteria da Bruno is simple: selected ingredients, simple Italian food, good music, good people, and moments that bring hospitality back to its roots. And for three nights, that vision came fully to life. Seeing our team step outside their usual day to day roles, work under pressure, and bring an idea from concept through to service was incredibly rewarding. The energy, creativity, feel, and care for detail were next level.
These experiences aren’t just about showcasing the ingredients we offer. They’re about building culture, inspiring the industry, opening new markets for our customers, and giving our team opportunities to grow, learn and feel proud of what they’re creating. It’s a perfect example of what matters most to us: strong partnerships, clear vision, and a committed team coming together to create something truly special beyond food and beverage delivery.
Huge thanks to chefs Beppe, Kristian and Frank for delivering each service with consistency and heart, and to our Marketing and Partnerships teams whose work ensured every seating was full and every detail was executed seamlessly. And of course, to the Mortadeli team for opening their doors, trusting our vision, and collaborating with us every step of the way.
Surely Nonno would be proud of this.
It’s amazing what you can achieve with a bloody good team.
Grateful to lead and be part of a group of people who continue to push, back each other, and raise the bar every single time.
