Negozio Classica

Like the enotecas of northern Italy, Negozio Classica combines a wine shop, bar & deli in one neat little package. There’s a flat corkage of £8.50 on any of the (mostly Italian) bottles displayed on the bookshelves around the compact space, & the Enomatic system makes plenty available by the glass, too. Trusty, Tuscan-inspired food is the ideal accompaniment to all this vino, so choose a plate of top-notch antipasti or the tomato tortino (a rustic ‘cake’ with buffalo mozzarella & avocado) & settle in. The airy back room, with its enticing displays of provisions & cookware to purchase, is ideal for matey get-togethers. If the sun isn’t quite over the yardarm, pop in for a morning coffee & cornetto until you’re ready to segue into a lazy lunch.
