The White Witch

This Italian café seamlessly morphs from morning coffee into lunch then evening aperitivo.

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This particular white witch (aka owner Sara Trequattrini) brings healing vibes in the form of Italian aperitifs served indoors in her small café with window seats, or outside on her equally small but cute Broughton Street terrace. Aperol Spritz come with sharing platters of antipasti (bruschetta, artichokes, cheeses, grapes, for example) – and there is a vegan mozzarella available if you ask. This Wiccan themed spot is open from morning right through to evening, starting the day off with strong coffee, Sicilian cannoli, sfogliatelle (lobster tail pastries with a ricotta and orange peel filling), pistachio croissants and other vegan and gluten-free items. Dinner and lunch options include a baked melanzane parmigiana with truffle sauce and they also sell imported Italian pannetone and cakes.
