Cafe Guiliano a delicious Italian deli in Putney.
Giuliano Deli-Cafe’ Putney (also known as Putney’s Little Gem) on Lacey Road is a family-run fresh, authentic Italian deli run by Isabella and her husband Pepe and has served the people of Putney quality Italian dishes for over 20 years.
For only £5.00 a generous portion of home-cooked pasta from the daily menu makes a perfect lunch or evening meal. The pasta dishes range from the signature recipe, Spaghetti Aioli Rosso – spaghetti cooked with garlic, olive oil, and parsley, cooked in red wine with chili – to a variety of vegetarian and meat sauces.
Freshly toasted panini are filled with a selection of premium Italian ingredients from their deli counter. A personal selection of Italian wines can also be purchased to drink in or take out. Visiting their Deli Cafe is like being in Italy with the aroma of coffee and Italian cooking served by our friendly native Italian staff.
They source authentic quality Italian ingredients with provenance. Giuliano’s grocery shelves stock staples such as olive oil, fresh and dried pasta, and cakes.
Their story:
In true Italian fashion, Isabella is like the ‘landlady’ of Cafe Guiliano, welcoming every person with a smile (even behind a mask), helping them choose the best option for a lunch on the go or a sit-down meal.
She recognizes most of the customers coming in, most of whom have been frequenting the deli for years and swear by her stunning Italian fare.
During each lockdown, Isabella has taken the opportunity to learn more about how to make sure she communicates any developments with her customers. She has since started the deli Instagram account and helps other businesses in the area with their Instagram accounts - check out their stories, especially if you are hungry!
“I was just chatting to a young man who used to come in here to buy his lunch during school and now he pops in with his wife and little boy for lunch, it is amazing seeing them all grow up and still supporting us.”
