Italiamo Cafe

1. I loved the food, and the price-to-value ratio was incredible. The staff were lush, and it was such a treat while on a visit to Oxford. The parma ham Focaccia was so good, and that pistachio sweet treat was a joy to eat.

2. Everything we tried was delicious! Very Nice Garden at the back ! Must go place if you like Sweets !

3. Fast food, take-out only. A cheap eating place where my son has his most lunches😆Has one or two vegan options. No whole wheat option.

4. Right by our hotel. Delicious cannoli, arancinni, clock clock. Also enjoyed cappuccino

5. “Hey Mambo!
   Mambo Italiamo…” 🇮🇹

   Brand new cafe that already has big queues, even on a Sunday lunch in lockdown. There were a load of Italian’s in the queue – always an encouraging sign.

   Sells Calzone, Cenovese, Pastries, and Coffee.

   🍕 Calzone (aka folded pizza) includes Coffa Salami & Emental, Spicy Salami, Salami & Mozzarella, Ham & Mushroom, Veggie, and even Vegan (with Vegan Cheese). 🍕

   🥐 Pastries include Canvoli Pistachio, Canvoli Chocolate, Arogostoni, Cestini Pistachio, Cantucci Chocolate, Tutti Frutti Italian Pastries, and others.

   Also Spinach Aranchini (and one or two other flavours). Picture a scotch egg 🥚filled with rice 🍚 and cheese 🧀 and you get the picture. Delicious and available in veggie and vegan options too. 😋

   Oh, and Rijo Filter coffee. ☕

   (See photos, which have labels for each of the above 🏷).

   The one suggestion would be to have more people serving / less waiting. I was there 10 minutes and the queue barely moved. Essentially seems to be a one man band.

   Still: do support them rather than Mackie D’s. Corporates will likely survive, but new, small businesses need our help.

   UPDATE 06/2024 (original was 2021):
   Went back today and the server was rude and aggressive. When he muttered “Peach or Lemon” I said OK… and he replied really angrily. He then aggressively insisted I go in the garden.
   Maybe it was just a bad day for him, but it’s taken the shine off my experience and loses one star.
