A huge thank you to Violaine at La Spezia for putting a lovely hamper together. Violaine was so helpful and friendly and my friends were very happy with their gift. Brilliant customer service 😊

Lovely Italian place. This is more of a deli style place than a coffee or brunchvspot but there are a couple of tables about 6 people could be seated. The food is of course fantastic with fresh cold cuts and Italian cured specialties. The coffee is fantastic as well.

Oh wow, I felt like I had been teleported to Italy! What an amazing charming place! I wished I lived around the corner from here. The owner and his staff are wonderful, and the food is lovely and I must say cheap! I had a delicious soup and a super fresh sliced ciabatta! The cannoli filling was fresh unlike the one I had at Bar Italia - Soho recently.

Been here a few times for food and then picked up some treats on the way out since it was all redone. The food is delicious and good value portions. The pasta and cheese & charcuterie boards are especially great. They sell a few wines by the glass or you can buy a whole bottle from their large selection. Great range of Italian products and the freshly made products all taste great.

Pastas under 6 pounds. Nice option but sadly every choice was penne except for lasagne and cannelloni. If I knew I would have had lasagne instead. Anyway, nice interior which looks like it used to be a pharmacy.

Amazing place where you find very Italian products, coffee and people.

If you like old world places...not too many left...and Italian chat...here coffee, bread, sweet treats and other Italian essential ingredients sold here, not to speak of the warm welcome!. Grazie.

Lovely Italian family run business you'll guaranteed to enjoy 😉

Did a Bulgarian wine tasting here which was the most technical and informative tasting I've ever done. The snacks on the side were brilliant. The love and the knowledge of the craft shines through from the owners.

Loving food, especially the charcuterie, brilliant little place. Very friendly. Highly recommend it.

A real gem in South Croydon! We came for the cheese and wine tasting evening, but there are plenty of other dishes such as pasta and carchuterie, all incredible value with lovely service. Ended up buying loads of goodies for the massive variety of deli products on offer. Would highly recommend!

….I’ve used this Deli for years since moving to Croydon. We have new owners now and last Friday we attended their cheese and wine night. Absolutely superb from the delicious red wine, to the cheese, to the meats to the dessert …..Tiramisu 🫶🏻 Great price point and amazing service! We will be back! Thank you guys! Benny x

It's not often that I have the opportunity to drink such a delicious caffe latte

Great selection of top quality Italian food and drink. Lovely friendly, helpful owners who are always there.

Absolute gem of a place. Lovely feel to this place. Great coffee and selection of Italian produce

Second time eating in, in the space of a few weeks. Had always known this place was open but never that it served food to eat in, with wines served too by the glass. Hugely authentic and lovely new owners.

This lovely Italian deli is a place to be! We had their lasagna and pesto with chicken pasta, and I can't sing praises high enough for how delicious it was. It is also a great place if you want authentic food and groceries, such as pasta, wine, sauces, and many more. We will be back.

Fresh pasta and delicious coffee. Also a treasure trove of Italian food - pasta, condiments, wine. New owners - but the place retains the same feel. Lots of pannetone kn store for Christmas. Must visit if you are in the area. Parking is usually available nearby on Drovers road.

Wonderful little delicatessen/restaurant, that's great for lunch or dinner. Delicious freshly-cooked Italian cuisine, fantastic selection of specialty foods and wines – and very friendly service. Croydon's best kept secret!

What a find! I went into this tiny corner shop on a whim and was blown away by the quality of the products, plus the the friendly owner and staff. But the real highlight was the daily fresh-made pasta lunch specials, so tasty! Will definitely be back.

Absolutely love this place, rustic, traditional and family owned. Beats every coffee chain you’ll find

Good Giorgio really gives an all Italian feel to every visit, like going back home!

Authentic Italian products and a great lunch with friendly people

Just passed at the door and decided to enter to check the shop. The best customer service ever! A real taste of Italy. I spoke with the lovely owner and fantastic staff about my recent trip to Cinque Terre and they made me feel so welcome! I left the shop with tasty burrata, olive oil and loads of tips for next trip to Italy. I highly recommend going to La Spezia

Easily the best thing about South Croydon. I adore this place. The food is delicious and amazing value. Giorgio and his team are wonderful. Perfect for lunch, for a dessert or snack or for dinner. Lots of reasonably priced Italian goods. They also sell fresh baked loaves of bread on a Friday.

Good variety of items. Great for lunch as well. Choose your own filling for sandwiches with good variety of breads to select from. Had a tasty sandwich. Will try the pasta next time.

A Alladins cave of a shop, has all an Ex pat Italian could wish for at Xmas, compares favourably with any in Soho or Saffron Hill.

Ciao Giorgio! My favourite things to buy are the Fontina, the olives and the very smooth Primitivo. Grazie

Amazing Italian deli. Excellent coffee and very unique selection of products. Recommended.

Popped in here yesterday. I had read the reviews beforehand and was curious and out lookingfor a certain Pasta my daughter wanted. While there, they made me up a gorgeous ciabatta as I was starving. Will definitely try a fresh take home Pasta dish next time. A little gem of a place in South Croydon.
