really, has it gone so far downhill in the ten months i've been away, I only went in for some veg, the aforementioned salami and olives, and every so often pancetta.
there used to be a great old italian deli on south lambeth road, used to have a sign saying di leto over the door. Was great hanging out with the old italian women as they picked out two or three loaves of bread and haggled over the salami. Think the family sold out and now its a cost cutter.
Though there is a nice small deli down in bonnington sq, close to vauxhall, but it feels a bit expensive...
