La Piccola Deli Pasticceria is an Italian cafe, deli and pastry shop at 270 Kensington High Street. The counter combines savoury dishes with an extensive display of cakes and filled pastries, creating an easy setting for breakfast, coffee, lunch or a sweet afternoon visit. Its long opening day lets the menu move naturally from eggs and croissants to pasta, focaccia and dessert.
Breakfast includes eggs cooked to order, mushrooms or avocado on toast, Eggs Benedict and a fuller deli breakfast. Croissants come plain or filled with chocolate, apricot, almond, custard, pistachio, ham and cheese, or vegetables. Espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, latte and flat white make coffee central to the morning experience.
Lunch choices draw on Italian cafe staples. Focaccia, piadine and panini are filled with ingredients such as cured meats, buffalo mozzarella, vegetables and cheese, while pasta sauces include tomato, carbonara, Bolognese and pesto. Lasagne, aubergine parmigiana, chicken Milanese, meatballs, salads and slices of pinsa provide more substantial alternatives from the counter.
The pasticceria selection is a reason to visit in its own right. Sicilian cannoli, fruit tarts, tiramisu, rum baba and crisp coda d’aragosta sit beside elegant chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla and pistachio cakes. Classic and pistachio maritozzi bring sweet cream inside a soft bun, pairing naturally with coffee and completing the cafe’s generous expression of Italian pastry culture.
