We source our produce from incredible farmers! We were bloody excited to pick up our fresh hand pressed 100% pomegranate juice. A family farm run by Lourens and his lovely mom Megan. Small batch from their acco varietal, it doesn’t have any bitterness to it. We blast freeze the juice to keep it nutrient rich. We also use the juice in our summer Negroni, while it’s in season. Are you a pomegranate fan?

Our 72 hour fermented Pizza al taglio made with flour~ Roman pizza baked in a tray sold by the slice🍕 We grew up eating pizza al taglio, in Italy & at home. The last trip our Dad sent us on was to perfect our family recipe as a pizza al taglio school. We’ve spent MONTHS making sure the characteristics are the same as in Rome! Crisp exterior, airy interior with toppings that are both local & brought in from Italy. We’re bloody proud of our pizza al taglio and we know The Big Boss would be too.

What people say
Lello's Deli by Scarpetta is a family-run Italian deli located on Vos Street in Cape Town. This neighbourhood artisanal food store offers a wide range of authentic Italian delicacies that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. The deli also has an espresso bar called Lello's Caffè, which pays homage to their nonno Lello and Italian coffee culture.
One of the must-try desserts at Lello's Deli by Scarpetta is the Affogato al caffé, which is a humble dessert that delicately rounds off a meal. It consists of a dollop of their vanilla-scented gelato drowning in their deeply roasted coffee and topped with homemade cantucci (Tuscan almond biscotti). This dessert is perfect for your next dinner party.
Another delectable treat offered by Lello's Deli by Scarpetta is their Apple Cake, which was taught to Chiara by her Mama Turilli. Made with mounds of fresh apples and swirled with cinnamon sugar, this cake has an almost crunchy topping that will leave you wanting more. You can even order a full cake for your special occasion.
Lello's Deli by Scarpetta takes pride in sourcing locally made artisanal cheese as well as imported cheeses from Italy. Their array of cheeses includes the glorious ricotta, which is imperative in Italian cuisine as it encourages the flavours in a dish to come together.
Lastly, Lello's Deli by Scarpetta had the honour of feeding all the creative people at the "seeds of the fig" sculpture exhibition curated by [name]. This goes to show how much they value quality food and service.
Overall, Lello's Deli by Scarpetta is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for authentic Italian delicacies made with love and care.
