About Antipasti Deli & Cafe

Antipasti Deli & Cafe nails the rare double act of a bustling Italian grocer and an unpretentious daytime espresso counter. Regulars drop in for hefty panini—like pastrami-stacked reubens and pesto chicken focaccia—before raiding the deli shelves for imported cheeses, salumi, and take-home trays of scratch-made lasagne. Run with genuine warmth by owner Fab, the shop also packs baseball-sized arancini, crispy pizza, and takeaway charcuterie boards ready for the weekend.

  • House-Made Lasagne: Layered with plenty of meat, rich sauce, and scratch-made comfort for effortless family dinners.
  • Overstuffed Panini: Generous focaccias loaded with pesto chicken alongside overstuffed pastrami reubens and double-egg breakfast rolls.
  • Deli & European Grocer: Cured meats, imported cheeses, artisan condiments, and packaged Italian pantry staples all in one stop.
