Big Mamma Group is an Italian restaurant company founded in 2015 by Tigrane Seydoux and Victor Lugger with one simple dream: changing people's lives with pizza.
In the UK & Ireland, that dream lives in 9 restaurants across 4 cities: Gloria, Ave Mario, Circolo Popolare, Barbarella, Carlotta and Jacuzzi in London, Circolo Popolare in Manchester, La Bellezza in Birmingham, and Gloria in Dublin.

Edmondo will seat 200 guests across a series of jaw-dropping rooms, a huge central bar and three private dining spaces, with a menu built around towering XL focaccia, fresh pasta,langoustine risotto and the biggest steak selection the group has ever done.
