This place is poor and be sure to check the sell by date on anything you buy.

When will someone open a world class Italian Deli in London instead of this type of disgraceful establishments.

M&S sell better Parmigiano than nearly all Italian delis in London including Camisa ,Terrone ,Luigis, Lina Stores et al

It's sad to say that many of the first or second generation of Italians imigrants who opened these establishments prospered on the ignorance of the local market but the UK has made huge gastronomic progress in the last 15 years. Selling too young Parmesan and inferior Procuito crudos will not cut it anymore.

Why don't they look at Peck in Milan or Valvona & Crolla in the capital of bonnie Scotland as benchmarks......

A little bit of Italy in Pimlico 9th February 2008

La Bella Sicilia is a little bit of Sicily/ Italy in Pimlico! Popped in there today and a friend found mini-macaroni that they had been struggling to find across London.

Lots and lots of pasta, panettone, Amaretti and all the usual stuff. An amusing feature, apart from the cheery old chap behind the counter was that every price ended in in an 8! So, expect things to cost £1.98, £4.98 and £9.98. Someone there has an 8 fetish, perhaps it is something Sicilian.
