Chiltern Street is quaint little street near Marylebone High Street where people go for extra large sized shoes, bridal boutiques or whiskey specialists. So don't ask my why I stumbled across Ailmentari Cocorino.
Cocorino is cute and stylish in a Marylebone/Notting Hill kind of way. Its white walls are well stocked with high end Italian biscotti, sauces, salamis, hams and fresh pastas sourced from artisan suppliers in Italy. It's a "boutique Italian delicatessan and espresso room" - the coffee is good, and you can have them make you up a fresh foccaccia or nibble on some of the gorgeous little cannoli and Italian cakes or biscuits.
It's owned by Linda Yau, sister of Alan Yau (restauranteur behind Princi, Hakkasan etc). Apparently there's also a Cocorino Focaccia and Gelato bar around the corner. Very sweet. One to try if you're in the neighbourhood.

Looks like a good little find GD and VERY Marylebone
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE your blog! :) I'm always looking through it for ideas for places to visit when I'm London :)
ReplyDeleteGourmet Chick - Thanks GC! Marylebone is so very white, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteYelly - Why thank you! All positive feedback welcome!
What a cute little space! I've never visited Marylebone. It's always been a place on a Monopoly board to me! ;)

Chocolate cannolis look delicious. I've been past a few times, but I'll have to pay a visit now!
ReplyDeleteShame it's now gone out of business. The last time I was in Marylebone, I walked past both Cocorino outlets and not only were they closed, but big signs from the baliffs were on the window.
