This place came at the recommendation of a colleague who lives in St. Albans. Having been raised in…read morethe Itlaian neighborhoods of the NY suburbs, I have relatively high standards for an Italian deli. And this is a great little deli. The locals seem to flock to this place pretty frequently. The owners new customers by name (always a great sign), and there was a line when we got there (which moved quickly). Plenty of pastas, paninis, antipastas, and more. We placed a massive order for 5 people and sat outside. Everything was delivered quickly and we ate while reaching our forks over each other's plates to make sure everything was tried, and nothing was missed. I didn't spend too much time looking, but there is a little shop as well which offers different sauces, pastas, etc. for purchase. They all look delicious, and great for a gift basket.

Its a cafe that sells artisan bread, homemade cakes, smoothies, salad, sandwiches and quality coffee. I decided to order the cheese, caremelised red onion chutney tomato with mixed leaves on artisan white granary bread which was a Jesus pick for me. And oh boyyyy it did not disappoint at all!! It had a delicious sweetness to it with a slight kick of the cheese on soft bread with a lovely added crunch with the seeds on the bread. The hot chocolate was okay, I thought the presentation could of been better though. Customer service when presented with my sandwich was with a smile, a shame that was not the case when ordering my drink but he was professional all the same. Because it's small, you feel you can hear the other customer's conversations. You get a lot yummy mums in their having a chin wag. The decor is pretty dark, and the the only natural light you get is the entrance and the main big windows which was were I was sitting as it was a bar stool seating. I'm not saying I won't come here again considering they are the only option on that road- I do want to try their coffee and cake next time.

The produce here is fantastic and you can tell there's been so much love and attention put into every single product. The chicken liver pate is really nice here and full of flavour and I would also highly recommend purchasing on of their quiches to take home and have with some nice salad. They've just opened a small cafe on the side that compliments the deli and serves a great selection of sandwiches and (my favourite) pork pies. The atmosphere is great in here and everyone is really made to feel at home.

In a sleepy little shopping district, you will find a little groceria / catering / deli shop run by a couple of real Italian dudes. They carry all kinds of real-deal Italian dry pastas and sauces. Jeez, I had no idea that Barilla made Bolognese sauce as well as Genovese pesto. They also had a small, but comprehensive wine selection, organized by region of Italy. Let's get on to the food, shall we? The have some prepared food, but the big hit is their gelato, which was voted a top choice by readers of Time Out London and their Panini. For the panini they start with fresh bread, then slice high-quality meats and cheeses to order, such as prosciutto di Parma, speck, you name it. I had the breaded chicken breast panini with sliced provolone and sun-dried tomatoes. It was absolutely delicious and astonishing how such a simple sandwich can be so good. The service was great too. The Italian dudes were very pleasant and seemed to have lots of regulars that they were on a first-name basis with and greeted with a "ciao tarde". Now if I could only get them to open up a store in my apartment building....

Oh my giddy arm, I cannot believe that a place in London exists where they would let me order food, eat it and then let me leave without paying (due to not having enough cash on me), trusting me to come back later after I had run my errands and gotten to a cash point!!!! Even when I offered up the change that I did have, they said I could just hang on to it and then pay the bill in full later if I wanted to! Set right on the corner of West End Lane and Mill Lane, David's is a family run business in the perfect location, with lots of seating, both inside and outdoors, with an awning to cover it, and plants surrounding the front area, separating you from the street a little. This would be the perfect place to come for breakfast/brunch on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The menu is extensive, with lots of meze options, as well as sandwiches, bagels, salads, pies cakes and cupcakes (the woman next to me ordered a small meze selection with pitta - I can't imagine how big the large option would have been!). I opted for a salt beef bagel (which came with a pickle and coleslaw), which if I am completely honest, didn't really do it for me, BUT I should have known this from the start, as this place just didn't look Jewish enough to satisfy my salt beef bagel standards... My cappuccino was good - nice and frothy. I was also pleased that they have the option of skinny or regular. It's nice that they have a big pile of newspapers and magazines to browse too - handy if you are on your own and don't have any reading material with you. In all honesty, I probably would award this place 3 stars for my bagel (and the fact that at £4.50 I think it was too expensive), but for overall service, atmosphere and enjoyability of experience it gets full marks. David's is Deli(ghtful) and I will be back!
