Swanky Italian restaurant opens at Trentham with coffee, cocktails and cake

A much-anticipated Italian restaurant at one of Stoke-on-Trent’s most popular tourist destinations has welcomed the first diners. Anasma Italian is located near the main entrance to the Trentham Estate.

It offers a range of Italian dishes including favourites such as spaghetti bolognese, lasagna and garlic bread options. The resturant is the third business under the Anasma brand, following on from Anasma Greek Bakery in Newcastle, and the Anasma Greek Eatery, also located in Trentham’s shopping village.




Owners Marianna and Costas Anastasiou say Italian is their second-favourite cuisine after Greek dishes and so decided to broaden their appeal. They are also opening for breakfasts, as well as offering cocktails in the evening.

They have also created a relaxed ambience inside with low-level lighting and traditional Italian music playing in the background. The walls are yellow, with a brick-style wallpaper, while the seats are plush red and grey velvet and a deep yellow bench along one of the walls.

We’ve also hired an Italian chef because when you grow up around certain dishes and a traditional cooking style you know how to make the food and you care about it more – it’s more of a passion.

“As soon as we found the opportunity for this shop we thought it was perfect. We can keep an eye on our Greek restaurant too, because me and my husband like to be involved in our businesses.
