Get The Focaccia

New management and chef. Service and food quality have deteriorated which is a pity as this was a great spot for coffee, breakfast or lunch. They should have just kept it the same or try to change back as it used to be good as previous reviews confirmed.

Great pasta takeaway for lunch. 5 quid for a great pesto.

It’s a well-​know fact that a Unilocaler on a mission can be easily mistaken for a health-​and-​safety officer…
…in fact, this is what happened when I took pictures of the beautifully arranged food items: a member of the staff approached me and said «Excuse me, we’ve watched you on our CCTV camera and we realise that you’ve taken a lot of pictures…» I quickly solved the mystery and told him that I was writing for a food blog and that I wanted to illustrate my culinary experience with some pictures. (So make sure to check out the nice pics I’ve taken!)
Anyway, let me tell you how I ended up in this predicament: as luck would have it, I was getting lost in St. James today and all of the sudden I found myself in a Dickensian alley. Then the following sign entered my field of vision: «Get The Focaccia!»
Taking it more like a calling than a strict order, I walked inside the cute store and I was immediately rewarded with the smell of freshly baked goods. The steam of the pasta water lured me in… in actual facts, for a while I was just starring at the beautiful display of food in front of me — unable to make a decision!
Well, since it was basically an order, I simply had to go for the Genovese focaccia. And more specifically, I picked «Alice», which is a white focaccia topped with stracchino cheese, Italian Zoia sausage, rocket and cherry tomatoes. And let me tell you: as soon as I sat down with «Alice», I pretty much undressed (devoured) her in one piece… she was that tasty!
Wow, I can’t wait to come back here and taste the other delicacies; like the pasta, which comes in a different shape each day of the week. Also, the risotto and the soups are on my list… maybe I’ll try these at their other location near Ludgate Circus (
)?
