khione Sicilian Delicatessen

You'll find yourself squeezing into the narrow arcade off The Hayes, past the usual shop fronts, and there it is: a proper deli counter lined with Italian bottles and hanging salumi. The owners know their stuff—they're not just shifting stock, they're curating. You can grab a filled roll at lunch, pick up tins of San Marzano tomatoes and burrata that won't disappoint, or just chat through what works best for whatever you're cooking tonight. It's the kind of place where regulars actually know the staff by name.
