The Sicilian Delicatessen Herne Hill

Every jar and packet here has been personally curated by Carlo, who works with small Sicilian artisans — Aldo's tomatoes, Stefania's sauces, Gaetano's pasta, Max's olive oil — favouring traditional methods and pure ingredients. The Herne Hill premises wear several hats at once, serving as deli, sandwich shop, wine bar and Italian restaurant, with delivery available for those further afield. It all adds up to a well-earned 4.5 stars from nearly 200 reviewers.
