Branca

Oxford


Big, bright and bustling, this glitzy Jericho favourite serves cool cocktails and savoury focaccia to complement elegant, well-prepped pizzas, pastas, risottos, and Italian meat and seafood grills. There’s a good-value, two-course lunch/early dinner deal (£15.50), from noon to 7pm Monday to Thursday, noon to 5pm Friday and Saturday. It also runs the deli next door.
