Italo Delicatessen reviews, photos - Vauxhall - London - GayCities ...

Tucked away, just five minutes from the the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, the Eagle, Chariots and the rest, you'll find this corner café-shop that sells not only Italian specialties — including high-quality provisions and expert espressos using Jack Coleman coffee — but non-ethnic-specific food items (proper fruit and veg, jams, beverages etc) and home-made savouries including hot dishes (six a day) and well-stuffed sandwiches.

Previously a standard corner shop run by a man named Tony, then a knitwear outlet (I Knit London, now in Waterloo), this woody, warm and reassuringly analog space was taken over in 2008 by Charlie Boxer (son of food writer Arabella Boxer and former cartoonist and editor Mark Boxer) and Luigi di Lieto.

The latter left in 2010, with Charlie now running the operation solo, albeit with genial help.

Boxer's two songs run the nearby foodie haven Brunswick House Cafe [see entry].

London's Newest Unassuming Art Destination - The New York Times

It’s here, on a quiet back street, that a row of industrial Victorian studios have been converted into a vast and free-to-visit exhibition space by the artist Damien Hirst.

The Newport Street Gallery, which opens to the public this week, was originally home to a West End theater sceneographer and then a flower-wheelbarrow-maker before becoming the artist’s studio.

Visitors to the space, which is close to the Oval Cricket Ground, can tour the 13 working studios, home to artists from all over the globe, and (until Nov. 8) view an exhibition of work by the emerging South African artist Kemang Wa Lehulere.

Newport Street Gallery and Gasworks will be joined early next year by a third contemporary gallery, Cabinet, currently in the throes of constructing a new five-story home in Spring Gardens.

The exhibition space and artists’ residences are in the former Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, an after-hours 19th-century hot spot where punters would pay a shilling to be entertained by the likes of lion tamers and fortunetellers.

Café Monico: Rowley Leigh joins forces with Soho House to create ...

1987, the year Marco Pierre White’s Harveys, Simon Hopkinson’s Bibendum, Ruth Rogers’s and Rose Gray’s River Café and Rowley Leigh’s Kensington Place all opened.”

A man I admire and shyly love, who also came of age in 1971, is collaborating with Soho House in the creation of Café Monico in Shaftesbury Avenue, not far from the original restaurant of that name on Piccadilly Circus owned by Giacamo and Battista Monico.

The all-day brasserie menu at Café Monico is a beau ideal of an Italo-French list, with wide appeal, luxury as birthright, enough reassurance but also a dash of daring.

We get a kick out of intrepidly spiced pineapple topped with vanilla ice cream plus batons of pain perdu (eggy bread) in custard and the Coupe Pavlova with meringue, crème Chantilly, strawberry sauce and passion fruit could have been created deliberately to exemplify indulgence.

Indeed, the women in black dresses with little white pinnies, their hair in high swishing ponytails, could effectively furnish a Victorian fantasy about the appeal of dressage.

A taste of Italy in Vauxhall - Telegraph

So much so that Charlie tells the story of how a woman came into the shop, saying, 'I’m such a fan of your mother, I would love to meet her one day,’ but failed to recognise Arabella, who had just walked into the shop carrying a cake for Charlie to sell.

While their two younger sons went on to open a bakery, also called Di Lieto, close by, the eldest, Luigi, began hunting for new premises to replace the former deli.

The idea of running a food shop appealed, as his upbringing had revolved around food, so when Charlie and Luigi, by now good friends, became aware of a small empty shop around the corner from the original Di Lieto store, it seemed ideal. '

By the time Charlie and Luigi discovered the corner shop it had been lying idle for a year and a half.

Charlie’s sister, Henrietta, and Luigi’s wife, Paula, regularly man the till, while all the bread is supplied by the Di Lieto bakery.

Restaurant: Brunswick House Cafe, London SW8 | Life and style ...

Brunswick House is one of those attractive buildings that you can pass by a zillion times without ever getting a really close look.

Next to Brunswick House is the huge, hideous St George's Wharf, which makes the 1758 building seem all the smaller and more elegant and more lost.

It's run by Jackson Boxer, whose family are in the food world, too: brother Frank runs the legendary Campari Bar on top of a multi-storey car park in Peckham and dad Charlie co-runs the deli Italo, a local favourite.

Jackson Boxer has made a place that sends exactly the right signals about itself: it is quirky and personal, and casual and cool, but it's very well run, too, and the underlying commitment to good food isn't casual at all.

The menu is St John-style laconic: "Courgettes and romesco", "Cauliflower, red onion and Stichelton", "Pigeon, lentils and radicchio".
