Salumeria Dino

Such a great little deli selling fresh produce and lot’s of yummy food imported from Italy.
A lovely independent store with fantastic customer service

A cute little delicatessen where you can find many typical Italian dishes (salads, pastries) as well as imported biscuits (biscotti...). The couple who run the place are very welcoming. I had a spicy salami,provolone cheese and pepper ciabatta for lunch. The ingredients were very fresh and the bread awesome. It tasted delicious and only cost £3.95! You can also order pastas and risottos according to the day. Very nice!

Excellent. Decent coffee at a reasonable price and really good sandwiches using proper rustic ciabatta (not the silly bits of nothing you get in places like Nero). Sandwiches are made while you wait. You can choose your own combination of fillings and there are none of those mixes swamped in mayonaise. I recommend trying spicy salami, provolone and rocket as a filling. Dino also does two versions of stuffed aubergine. This makes a very filling meal in a ciabatta.

If you are in the area, give it a go.

Nom nom nom nom nom!

I like! One the the great things about working on Charlotte Street is that I never get bored at lunchtime. Dinos is perfect.
I found it this afternoon and I’ve just tucked into a huge portion of chicken and mushroom risotto. It was yummy! I actually prefer my risotto to be creamier, but it tasted so good that I didn’t mind!

The place itself is tiny, they do lots of paninis and stuff and there were a few Italian people in the queue which is always a good sign.

What makes this place stand out is that it’s not just a lunchtime cafe/ deli. It’s actually an Italian grocery shop too. You can pick up anything from pasta to (no doubt very expensive) imported cakes and biscuits. You can pick up a good lunch for less than a fiver.

I like this little shop a lot. I’m not sure about five stars yet as I’d like to try some more things. The shop is so small and there’s only a couple of tables, but instead of that being a bad thing, I think it just adds to the charm.
