This year is a little different with indoor and outdoor dining restricted because of COVID-19, it means the traditional Mother's Day lunch isn't possible.
"What we've done is change things so you can take the Zecca experience home with you," Daniel D'Aquino said.
Festa Della Mama is usually a special set menu and this time it means a semi-prepared feast with Zecca having done the hard work.
We want people to come back but we also want to be here on the other side.

"All you're doing is turning the oven on," he said.
The plan for Mother's Day is something Zecca have been doing since pandemic restrictions began.
"We've adapted the formula for every week that we've been open."

The set takeaway menu which is available through the week gives diners a chance to enjoy the experience of handmade Italian even if indoor restaurant dining isn't available.
Mr D'Aquino said regular diners had embraced the change and had been supportive.
"We want people to come back but we also want to be here on the other side."
Orders for the Zecca Festa Della Mamma are needed by 4pm on Friday, May 8.
