The 411: Simona Mazzarone and Léo Spadaro (the duo behind wine bar La Pêche à la Vigne) also run a farm near Turin, raising cows, sheep and goats. Here, they produce some seriously good tomme cheeses. So good, in fact, they decided to build them a bespoke little stage right next door. In addition to their ash- and flower petal-coated tommes (made using lactic coagulation), the pair have sourced Sardinian crottin, gorgonzola from Angelo Baruffaldi and even Camembert from Champ Secret farm. And because cheese loves company, the display case is stacked with exclusive, addictive Italian charcuterie: Friulian cured ham, Sardinian sausage from Barbagia and Favola mortadella. Thirst was clearly a factor too: shelves gleam with natural wines from Italy, Slovenia and France, plus local beers like the Bellanda from Brasserie d’Aqui. Why stop there? There’s Sicilian olive oil from Galioto, Setaro premium pasta, Casa Luorio tomato sauce and vegetables from a micro-farm in Piedmont. This edible Aladdin’s cave also doubles as a trattoria, with a handful of tables tucked between the counter and shelves. Generous, oozy sandwiches are made fresh to order – on baguettes from Lagache bakery, sliced bread from Zielinska, or Pompon’s olive-oil pompe à huile flatbread, alongside small plates like frittata, zuppe, pasta al forne or frisella with Niçoise bonito. · Alban Mont
