What a great little store this is. You can step int oa little patch of italy with authentic produce to buy amongst your regular groceries. but the real secret is Francesca's cooking - wonderful past dishes to take home and some Sardinian favourites. Try it and see - you'll be back - I was!

Found this little gem a few months ago but had to do this review. Not many folk do a ‘real’ carbonara so had to get some guanciale and I literally can’t get out the shop as so much authentic Italian food to choose from ... best little shop in Ilkeston. 😊 thank you 😊

I came from Loughborough and the lady was lovely so friendly, had things I could not buy from my local deli like Pan Di Stelle spread which my son loves, selection of Italian liquor and bitter. Will be visiting again.

Lovely lady that runs the shop always helpful with all the delicious Italian whe n you ask what she recommends

What a fantastic shop! If you like Italian food then you simply must visit. The lady is so friendly and helpful. She gave me lots of advice on how to cook proper Italian pizza and had all the ingredients that you just can't get in the supermarket. Very reasonable prices and well worth a visit.

Ran by nice friendly litalian Bella Donna, we post our Hermes parcels there. Please remember to wear your mask as she doesn't want to ask people to wear them. You should respect her wishes as if she got Covid it would be the end of the business. Lots of Italian food.

Lovely Lady in the Shop, i had a nice chat! As italian it was like be in a small deli shop in Italy! Nice cheese, charcuterie and a lot of other stuff ! And fresh italian’s bread if you need it! 😃

Popped in to see what the pancetta was like!!!!! When we finally, relectantly, left we had made a new fantastic friend xx Francesca, Rob and I look forward to seeing you again soon, thank you for your help and advice, which I, being the main cook, will definitely take on board and teach my protégé when he retires xx Oh and for you reading this review I hasten to add that the produce was everything I wanted and more xx
