Mary Berry managed to discover this family Italian deli in 2020 for the BBC – only 40 years after it first opened. It is an institution, a doyenne along the many facets of Brecknock road. Saturdays is hand rolled ravioli, their own sausages, and for local legend sandwiches.
If it is Italian, it is here. Illy coffee, Puglia olive oil or more refined Grezzo, an array of pasta brands plus the mandatory cheese and salumeria counter. There is a good spread of pricing for all comers from very good wines but also some under £6 and spectacular colourful Dolce & Gabbana tins for the panattone.
The Salvino brothers’ mother was from Sicily and opened in 1979.
