L’Anima Cafe & Deli

Welcome to L’Anima Café & Deli. Our large Italian restaurant, situated in London on the border of the city and trendy Shoreditch dishes up various dining spaces and experiences – the more formal, contemporary café, the relaxed and inviting bar and lounge areas, both offering all day dining, and the deli with a coffee and takeaway counter offering a selection of freshly made cold & hot delights and walls lined with Italian delicatessen.

Our ethos is simple. Serve nutritious Italian food, simply cooked using only the finest seasonal ingredients, presented in a warm friendly atmosphere where hospitality is as important as the meal itself.

L’Anima Café & Deli is the more vibrant and accessible progeny offering simpler Southern Italian dishes at exceptional value but the ethos remains the same; creating the perfect setting to ‘mangiare bene’ and using everyday ingredients, carefully sourced and skilfully prepared on site to offer you authentic seasonal Southern Italian cuisine.

The L’Anima Café bar is partitioned into a leather sofa filled lounge area, large banquette seating and a pizza kitchen with a floor-to-ceiling oven. An ideal place for breakfast meetings, afternoon coffees, after-work drinks, live music in the evenings or live sports on the big screens.

The L’Anima Café Deli has a large, mouth-watering display piled with homemade cakes, salads, sandwiches and sliced pizza – each of which are freshly made in-house each day. It’s open plan kitchen and communal tables sees chefs preparing breakfast and lunch dishes in front of the guests as well as fresh pasta and sauces for customers to enjoy at home. Emphasis is placed on good provenance of the goods sold; from tasty salami and prosciutto to great pastas, carefully chosen wines and artisan beers to long-forgotten dried as well as jars of mouth-watering preserved legumes.

Designed by famed architect Claudio Silvestrin, L’Anima Café is an open and inviting space boasting clean-cut, modern furnishings from some of Italy’s most famed names in design including B&B Italia and Alessi.
