Fiocchi Di Neve

Italian café/deli from the people who brought you Locanda de Gusti and Pizzeria 1926.

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

Uncompromisingly authentic, Fiocchi Di Neve is a small taste of Italy. A deli counter packed with traditional Italian favourites makes for a delightfully bewildering choice of lunch options. Frittatas range from simple ricotta to vegetable varieties, while rice arancini are comfortingly cheesy. Stuffed peppers and homemade pasta abound, with supplies of plump fresh halloumi bread from sister restaurant Pizzeria 1926, as well as other tasty things cooked across the road at Loconda de Gusti. What this bright new little venue really showcases though is a beautiful array of cakes and pastries that will pull in many a passer-by. Creamy amaretto layered slices or boozy rum babas are tempting, but a beautiful choux pastry swan is satisfying in its simplicity alongside a Kimbo Italian coffee. The bright friendly eating space is pleasant for a sit-in lunch, though tables are limited and takeaway is clearly popular.
