Liverpool foodies are in for a treat as viral chef and bestselling author Giuseppe ‘Sepps’ Federici brings Giuseppe’s Kitchen to BOXHALL City this March. The exclusive six-week residency opens on 16 March 2026, transforming Kitchen No.8 into a dedicated space for Federici’s plant-based Italian creations.
For the first time, fans of Federici’s viral recipes can enjoy his signature dishes off-screen, featuring elevated Italian classics reimagined with a sustainable, plant-based twist.
From Social Media Sensation to Culinary Star
Federici first captured hearts in 2022 with his home-cooking videos alongside his Sicilian Nonna, Marianna. Known for making traditional Italian recipes approachable while maintaining authenticity, he quickly amassed over one million social media followers. His accolades include Fortnum & Mason’s Content Creator of the Year, and his cookbook, Cooking with Nonna (2024), became a bestseller.
After successful supper clubs and live dining experiences, Giuseppe’s Kitchen represents Federici’s most ambitious venture yet, bringing his comforting, flavour-packed dishes to a wider audience.
A Menu Celebrating Bold, Plant-Based Italian Flavours
The menu at BOXHALL City showcases Federici’s unique culinary style. Signature dishes include:
Dessert enthusiasts can indulge in his viral tiramisu creations, including the pistachio matcha tiramisu, which went viral during his collaboration with JENKI in 2025, alongside weekly rotating flavours such as Biscoff and hazelnut.
Chef Giuseppe’s Vision Comes to Life
Luther Dyer, General Manager at BOXHALL City, said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Chef Giuseppe to Kitchen No.8. His bold, plant-based cuisine and innovative approach make him a perfect addition to BOXHALL’s dynamic food offering. Guests are in for a real treat.”
Federici himself added:
“I’m excited to share my most-loved dishes in person for the first time. Working with BOXHALL City allows me to bring my dream of opening a restaurant to life, and I can’t wait for guests to experience Giuseppe’s Kitchen.”

Since teasing the pop-up in February, Federici’s social media announcement has generated over 250,000 views, with followers contributing to everything from logo design, inspired by his Nonna’s handwriting, to eco-friendly packaging choices. Fans have even shared advice from culinary mentors, including Gordon Ramsay, providing an inside look at launching a hospitality concept in 2026.
