Lovely little grocery and cafe on the corner of Vauxhall Grove and Bonnington Square. Everyone is sweet and the food is delicious.
They offer espresso drinks (hot/iced), bottled sodas, waters, beers. There is usually a fresh baked pastry or two on the counter. The grocery section has jarred foods and sauces, dry pastas, grains, fresh produce, bread. There is a reach in freezer with cups of Gelato ice cream from a local company called Gelupo. I had the Sour Cherry Riccotta and the Bitter Chocolate. Both were to die for. Chocolate will never be the same for me again after this cup. I will have dreams with it for years to come. They sell chocolate bars as well. The Rococco ones are made in London. Perfect small gift to bring home with you.
There are about 10 tables outside plus few benches and picnic tables across the street. There is a wonderful community garden also across the street with additional seating and lovely shaded areas to relax in. Italo offers free WiFi for it's customers, by the way. Ask for the code or look for it in chalk on the walls.
I believe they open around 11am and close around 6 or 7pm but it really depends on the volume of sales for the day.
Wonderful place with wonderful people. We enjoyed our time spent here very much. Thank you Italo. read more
