Today’s Highlight: Casarecci al Cavolo 🥦

Casarecci pasta with cauliflower, onion, and the salty crunch of crispy pancetta. Finished with a generous dusting of parmesan, it’s basically a hug in a bite.

Not in a pasta mood? Our Neapolitan pizza is ALWAYS available alongside our specials menu. 🍕

Come tuck into the authentic Italian comfort food you deserve!

2026 at Il Principe so far. 🤌✨

Good old Neapolitan pizza, desserts, and… a whole lot of pasta! From the seafood dishes to Ragù and Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, we’re so glad you’re loving the new specials as much as we are.

Catch you on Cowley Road this weekend? 🍷

This is who makes Il Principe what it is today. 🩵

It’s hard to condense what everyone does into a single sentence, but we all want one thing: to make you feel at home. Whether you’re here for dinner, grabbing a takeaway, or just browsing the deli shelves.

As an independent, family-run deli and eatery, that warmth is in our DNA. It’s in the food, the space, and the way we do things.

Since adding tables a year ago, the energy has been unmatched. We even had a surprise visit from Jono Yates () purely through word of mouth - shoutout to Reddit users for the love!

The best part of this journey? Seeing you sit back, chat, and settle in over pizza and specials. We’re all about that casual dining energy. Homely vibes, but with the best pizza (and pasta) in Oxford. 😉

Thanks for being part of the family. See you at the counter!
