Relaxed and easy - a place you can eat on your own. Service can be slow - so don't be in a hurry! Good food. Opposite art galleries, Jonathan Clarke, Jonathan Cooper and Cricket Fine Art. So great for a browse after lunch

A small local Italian shop where you can find a great selection of typical italian deli products. The shop is quite small but offers a great selection of products. They even have some freshly prepared sauces, try the bolognese pasta sauce, they won a couple of awards with the sauce and it is really delicious. Not cheap!!
