The Corrieri family originated in Lucca, Tuscany.
Robert Corrieri, grandfather of the present owners, came from Italy to Ayrshire in 1897, later moving to Kelty in Fife where he opened a traditional fish and chip shop and small cafe specialising in homemade Italian style ice cream. His son, Bobby and his brothers later followed into the family business.
In 1963, Bobby Corrieri, moved to the present site in Causewayhead, Stirling where he and his wife, Saida, established a very successful traditional Scottish-Italian ice cream and fish and chip shop.
Bobby and Saida’s sons, Robert and Peter, who had been involved in the family business from a very young age, later took over the running of the Cafe, extending the menu by offering a range of authentic Italian dishes and securing an alcohol licence. The business expanded in 2000 to meet growing demand.
The cafe walls are adorned with old family photos and authentic Italian memorabilia
