Al Pancino

Food was nice, the place is very nice too. but the service was a tad bit toooo slow. I only ordered scrambled eggs woth smoked salmon and took more than half an hour. It was Valentines though so maybe just cos of the busy occasion?

Firstly, deli/​restaurant is a bit of an understated and misleading way to describe this place. This is more of a café/​lunch stop/​large amazing house with great study and chatting spaces/​deli. If I lived in Greenwich this could easily become my favourite café/​weekend reading place/​social spot.
They serve a full selection of coffees, teas, desserts, pastries, cookies, and cannolis. They also have a wide selection of sandwiches, pastas, salads, and savoury pastries. You could fully spend breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. And they also actually do sell sausages (which is what I associate with a deli, anyway).
[ décor /​vibe ]
This place feels more like someone’s really awesome home than a restaurant. The space is large but well-​used and well-​lit. Enough tables for everyone without feeling cramped.
There are three floors — whether you want a quiet nook to lose yourself in a book for hours or a place to chat with a group of friends around a table, you’ll find the perfect spot.
Servers have charming accents and are very nice. Will gently warn you when the place is about to close without being overbearing.
Clean, well-​lit, neat photos, whimsical produce crates nailed to the walls with jars and packages of pasta, etc. Charming.
[ food ]
Order at the front counter and your food will be brought to you. Wish we had a chance to try more of the food, but we only stopped in for tea and a snack. The feta pastry we split was fantastic. Would love to go back and try the cannolis.
[ conclusion ]
A gem of a spot that you could spend so many weekends exploring. Bring a book and/​or a really good friend and stay for hours. Lovely place.
