A vibrant, community-focused Italian deli that transforms from a morning coffee hub into a lively wine bar by night.
Ordering Strategy
Counter service is standard; ideal for a solo coffee/work session during the day or splitting a bottle of wine with friends in the evening.
What to order
Fresh Sandwiches
The deli focuses on the owner's "culinary heritage" and serves as a "community place" for a quick, reliable meal in what is dubbed one of Hackney’s liveliest hang-outs.
Charcuterie Board
Reflecting the owner's goal to create an "Italian square" vibe where everyone feels included, these boards leverage the venue's dual role as a deli and wine bar.
Italian Wine
The owner specifically uses reporting tools to "track which bottles of wine are the most popular," ensuring a curated selection that is "attuned to the needs and tastes" of the local community.
