This family owned Italian deli/cafe is just over the road from my flat. It took me a year to discover it though - the windows are always steamed up and I was nervous to go in! I shouldn't have been put off though because it really is a wonderful shop to have so close to home.
The deli sells all ranges of Italian pasta - little tiny tubetti which is great in soups and bucatini (spaghetti with a hole - lets the sauce in the pasta!) which is delicious with a creamy carbonara sauce. They also sell fresh Parmesan which is SO much better than the supermarket stuff.
In addition to everything you'd need to make a great Italian meal, they also serve hot and cold snacks - the meatballs in tomato sauce are the most delicious I've ever had! It is wonderful to go and sit in the cafe, with a warm welcome, delicious lunch, and to top it off - perfect coffee.
When I eat here I really do feel like I'm living the good life!! read more
