A beloved, authentic family-run Italian deli and grocer serving up dreamy fresh pasta and hearty sandwiches to Hampstead locals.
Ordering Strategy
Strictly takeaway. Order at the counter and take your haul to the nearby Hampstead Heath for a picnic.
What to order
Fresh Pasta
The enchanting smell of handmade pasta hits you at the door; widely considered dreamy and restaurant-quality.
Ciabatta Sandwich
Hearty, made-to-order sandwiches (try the DOC buffalo mozzarella) perfect for a picnic, though one reviewer noted the bread-to-filling ratio can be high.
Porcini Mushroom Lasagna
Hailed by regulars as the best homemade lasagna in London, available as a ready meal to heat up.

Good to know
There is no seating inside. The shop functions as a high-end grocer and deli counter, also stocking wines, cheeses, and truffle products.
