AI Summary

Preston's authentic Italian panineria where Mauro's team plates fresh panini, pasta and coffee.

Quaintly retro-cool Italian cafe with a cosy, neighbourhood-Italy feel. reviewers repeatedly liken it to a genuine slice of Italy in Preston.

Allpress coffee beans, handmade Sardinian culurgiones, wood-fitted seating, a large panini menu, and catering for private functions and parties.

Owner Mauro and chef Massimo bring genuine Italian (including Sardinian) heritage, echoed in multiple Italian-language reviews praising 'vera cucina italiana'.

Generally seen as good value ('cheapest way to feel like you're on holidays in Italy'), though one reviewer found a panini bland for its price.
