Italian Alley – Camden

Clare’s original review

When the food is bellissimo *kisses fingers* 😘👌🏼 {ad}⁣

⁣

Fresh back from my Italy trip, I thought it was only right that I tell you all about London’s new Italian food hub 🇮🇹⁣

⁣

The @camdenmarketldn team have turned one of their adorable alleys into a street dedicated solely to Italian food and every stall (bar one) has a vegan option. Meet @italian_alley 🇮🇹🌱 ⁣

⁣

Here’s what we thought:⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣Vegan Focaccia w/ roasted veg & chickpea cream⁣

💰£5⁣

✏️Love that you get a few different flavours on one slice! The broccoli cream was my fave part. So good 🤤 ⁣

❓Order Again?⁣⁣ Yes⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣Vegan Fusilli w/ tomato, basil & courgette (served cold)⁣

💰£8.50⁣

✏️I’ve not had many cold pasta dishes but this was a great introduction. It was so light, juicy & refreshing. The tomato flavour was beaut!⁣

❓Order Again?⁣⁣ Yes⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣Roasted veg & chickpea cream panini⁣

💰£7⁣

✏️ Roasted veg isn’t my favourite thing in the world but this dish was packed with some lovely flavours. I liked the charred veg and the creamy chickpea spread!⁣

❓Order Again?⁣⁣ No, purely from personal taste. Chris would though!⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣Ciambotta (stew in a bread roll) w/ vegan Sicilian stew ⁣

💰L: £4.50, S: £2⁣

✏️I’ve never had anything like this before! Cute idea and this has some nice flavours but it was a little too sweet for me overall ⁣

❓Order Again?⁣⁣ Yes, w/ changes⁣

⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣Foccacia Bianca w/ rosemary⁣

💰£3.5⁣

✏️So simple and so perfect 👌🏼 The rosemary was just dreamy and the level of salt was just right 👏🏼⁣

❓Order Again?⁣⁣ Yes⁣

⁣⁣

We also had to indulge in some spritzs while we were there (rude not to)🍹 Good to note that the beers are also all vegan 🌱🍻 Grazie mille for having us, @italian_alley ! ⁣
