Shopping - Gazzano’s deli
You can get Italian food (of sorts) in practically any supermarket these days. Spaghetti, pesto, thin slices of parma ham, even taleggio cheese or pecorino if you’re lucky.
But the pasta may not be the most authentic. And you might not be able to get panettone, or the rich and calorie-laden panforte di Siena, or squid ink black pasta, or mixed seafood salad.
When you want authentic Italian, visit Clerkenwell - home to London’s oldest Italian community. And specifically, visit Gazzano’s, at 167-9 Farringdon Road.
Even the tomatoes are the real thing - not Dutch grown watery cotton wool things but rich dark tasty toms. Huge hams perfume the shop, and there’s a caff recently added on to the shop where you can get a panini (sandwich).
Not only are all the products authentic, but the shop still has the incredible atmosphere of a real old style deli - even if it has been a bit updated over the years.
