01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Paella arrives at the table steaming, its fragrant seafood aromas instantly piquing the appetite. Delivered fresh in the iron pan it was cooked in, the dish is carefully portioned out by the staff. Plump seafood contrasts nicely with the savory, crisp layer of toasted rice forming along the bottom. Ordering it as a set—accompanied by appetizers, a drink, and dessert—turns the meal into a leisurely, multi-course feast.
True to the word "delicatessen" in its name, the restaurant offers an impressive spread of small plates and assorted appetizers. At midday, a colorful lunch plate lets diners sample a variety of deli items in small portions, featuring bright touches like tangy carrot rapée and Spanish omelet that highlight the base ingredients. In the evening, sharing the "Today's DELI 7-Item Assortment" alongside a glass of wine or beer handpicked by the owner makes for an easygoing night out.
Heartier fare is equally well represented, from short pasta with tomato-braised domestic beef honeycomb tripe to oil-based pasta tossed with house-made bacon. For the finish, seasonal tarts and cheesecake pair with carefully brewed coffee, rounding out an unhurried dining experience framed by warm hospitality.
