While it primarily serves as a deli offering various Italian food products, also doubles as a small cafe where you can enjoy various Italian and cafe-style foods. If you choose items from the selection of dishes in the display cabinets, your dishes will be heated up before they are served to you.

We liked that the beef mince in the Lasagna had the degree of meaty flavour we desired and the layers of pasta were cooked al dente. Enough tomato sauce was included to ensure the dish was not too dry and while it may not look like it, there was sufficient cheese topping it to provide some crispiness.



For something a bit different, there is the Pork Cabbage Roll. The minced pork filling was very moist and the cabbage wrapping complemented it nicely with its firmer texture. Completing the dish was some tomato sauce. For those not in the mood for pork, there is also a version that uses chicken mince.



is currently the only place we are aware of that offers Mushroom Schnitzel, and it did not disappoint. It had a delectable earthy taste, set off nicely by the crumb coating. Also enjoyable was the Eggplant Croquette, which was not too mushy and had the degree of eggplant flavour we expected. Eating it slowly is advised as the interior is steaming hot.



The various vegetables used in the Vegetarian Fritter were what gave it its firm texture. It was fried sufficiently to give it a lovely golden brown colour. We also enjoyed the Cauliflower Fritter, which had the slight earthy taste that you would expect from the vegetable. The texture was softer than the Vegetarian Fritter, while still retaining a bit of bite.



A good choice for those desiring something unique to finish their meal, Sfoglliatelle is a shell-shaped Italian pastry that can be filled with various fillings. While the ones offered here had a ricotta based filling, the cheesy taste was actually quite mild and was flavoured with lemon for a nice citrusy taste. The crisp pastry set off the filling nicely. Eating it slowly is advisable to avoid scattering the icing sugar dusting all over.



For those that want something a bit more familiar, there are their Eclairs. The choux pastry was crisp with a light and airy texture and the vanilla custard filling and chocolate topping did not taste too sweet. Aside from regular Eclairs, the store also offers Salted Caramel Éclair which replaces the chocolate topping with one made using salted caramel.





Seating is a bit limited but the place still had a comfortable and casual ambience. Parking is not a problem as the carpark at the back offers convenient off-street parking.
