Yolanda, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi’s younger sister is 91 years young. She managed to get out of her house and along to the 100 years of Paolozzi exhibition yesterday then came to see us for some Pizza which she said transported her back to Italy. If you haven’t been along to the exhibition, or come to see us yet, then what’s your excuse?

Today marks a milestone in art history as we celebrate the 100th birthday of the legendary Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. Born right here in Leith in Edinburgh, Paolozzi's influence stretches far beyond his birthplace, making him a significant figure in both the art world and Scottish-Italian heritage.

As we raise a glass today at Paolozzi Restaurant and Bar, we honour the man whose creative spirit continues to inspire us every day. Paolozzi's legacy isn't just about art; it's about the fusion of cultures, the resilience of immigrants, and the power of food and drink to bridge divides.

In the early 20th century, many Italians, like Paolozzi's family, migrated to the UK seeking better opportunities amidst economic hardship. Food became more than sustenance—it became a way for Italian immigrants to preserve their culture while integrating into British society. Today, our restaurant stands as a testament to this heritage, blending Italian flavors with Scottish charm.

So here's to Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, whose vision transcends time and borders. As we sip on our Paolozzi-inspired beer and savour our culinary creations, we can't help but wonder: What would Paolozzi think of our establishment if he were here today? Would he raise a glass with us, appreciating the fusion of his artistic legacy with our culinary endeavors? Cheers to the man whose impact continues to inspire us all! 🎉🍻
