One of the best Italian delicatessen shops in Zurich, if not the best as I do know quite a few. They are really specialists at their products and they have amazing stuff, guanciale is off this planet! Coffes are unbelievable! The lemonade is Just unbelievable!!! Is a must and it deserves an explicit visit for their products (if they were a restaurant they surely have a 3 Michelin stars) I've been there few times and is my Italian shop of reference.

The place doubles as a panini takeaway restaurant, Cafe and a shop for Italian food products. It has limited seats though. The Paninis (Sicilian) are some of the best I have ever had. The coffee is also worth a try.

Really cute shop that sells lots of yummy things. I went for coffee and was pleasantly surprised by the man who served me. Very sweet despite language barrier (my lack of German) he let me smell coffees to chose from and made me the most delicious latte. Highly recommend for high quality coffee in town

Best coffee I've ever had in Switzerland! It's a cozy place, with extremely friendly people. Me, my husband and our dog are coming here very often and we are always welcomed so warmly, our doggy always gets a treat, and almost always we end up staying for a chat with either Francesco or Victor Cavaliere Calleri is one of our favourite places!

Fantastic coffee!!! A rare authentic Sicilian store with award-winning specialty coffee with aromas that are as complex as some of the best Italian wines I've been lucky enough to experience. I'm a big coffee nerd and think this must be the only Italian cafe serving specialty coffee in Zurich.
