Have walked passed this place many times however visited for lunch on Wednesday and was not disappointed. Ordered a Panini which was not only homemade and generously sized but tasted absolutely delicious. Would recommend that you also ask for a side salad (dressed with balsamic) which for only an additional 80p is an great accompaniment. Great place and look forward to my next visit.
One of the cutest Italian deli I have visited in a long time. The place is run by a family full of happy and friendly faces. The place is famous for their varied selection of panini's and salads. We ended up visiting this place twice in 3 days. I tried their selection of homemade fresh pasta dish with mixed meat mince, red pepper and tomato soup, grilled aubergine and courgette and bell pepper salad with fresh mozzarella and salumi vadi. Everything was just amazing and i will also very highly recommend their coffee and tiramisu.

Although this is right next door to the CastleFM studio
where I have my radio show, it's only recently that I've ventured across the portal, all
thanks to the guys from Enroot.
This small Italian emporium offers a great selection of deli goods including
imported speck, guanciale, Parma ham and various cheeses. I eschewed the menu
and went straight for the Pizzaiola panini; I'm a sucker for porchetta and,
along with salami, Emmental and mozzarella this toasted snack was packed full
of flavour. The woman at the table next to me had the soup and arancini. If I
had realised (or read the menu), my choice may have been different; I adore
these stuffed risotto rice balls, they remind me of lunch in Rome, sitting by a
fountain, people watching.
Kimbo are the coffee roasters they use and the cappuccino is good. The chiller
is full of homemade pasta dishes ready to take away if you are feeling lazy.
They also hold Sicilian evenings.
Shelves are stocked with all things Italian, as you'd expect; from
cantuccini, olive oils, pasta sauces and dried porcini. They guys behind the
counter are more than happy to chat about the food they serve and where they
source their products.
Next time I nip in, I'll definitely have the arancini!
