A tiny, authentic grab-and-go spot serving generously stuffed Tuscan schiacciata sandwiches just off Brick Lane.
Ordering Strategy
Choose between small or large sizes based on your appetite (the large is filling enough for the whole day). Order at the counter and take your flatbread to go, perhaps to nearby Allen Gardens.
What to order
I Medici
This vegetarian schiacciata 'strikes the perfect balance of flavour without feeling heavy' and is 'overflowing with fresh Italian ingredients' like stracciatella cheese and grilled aubergines.
Machiavelli
A 'mouth-watering' meat classic that is substantial and rich, packed with pancetta, Stracciatella cheese, and spicy nduja cream.
Pistachio Flatbread
An 'indulgent' dessert flatbread with such a 'generous portion' of filling that reviewers claim it feels like eating 'a whole jar of pistachio cream.'

Good to know
This location is strictly a takeaway spot with zero indoor seating. Expect queues on bustling weekends, and be prepared for efficient, quick-fire service rather than a chatty experience.
