Stuzzichini are one of the highlights of aperitivo in Italy. Delicious bites of salumi, cheese, and pickled goodness stacked high on soft bread. Easy to bite, and the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine.

Walk into an enocteca wine bar anywhere on your travels and you’ll find each region has its own take on stuzzichini. In Venice you find cicchetti, in Rome it might be fried snacks like supplì, or in the north, grissini or little focacce lined up behind the counter.

Here’s our counter and menu, all made with ingredients from our own network of artisan producers from Italy. Served with some of our favorite glasses from

See you tonight, walk-ins from 5pm. We’re here every Saturday evening over the summer.

This week we’re pouring three of our favourite low-intervention whites from in Hackney. Alongside our salumi, cheese and stuzzichini.

🍇 Barraco - Fior di Bianco. Sicily. A coastal blend of grillo, catarratto and a touch of zibibbo, grown in sandy soils.

🍇 La Distesa - Terre Silvate. Le Marche. Verdicchio from the hills of Cupramontana.

🍇 Monteforche - Carantina. Veneto. Garganega from the northern hills, textured and mineral.

See you after the usual Saturday market, we’re open for walk-ins from 5pm

Enoteca menu highlights, Saturday 13 June

Pouring: Last week’s favorite - Nerocapitano. A (dangerously) drinkable chilled red from Sicily. Pure Frappato. Hints of red cherry, blood orange and wildflowers. Like a mediterranean beaujolais.

Slices salumi: 30 month parma ham from Emilia & black pig finocchiona

If you’ve been to Italy, you’ve almost certainly stumbled into an enoteca at some point.
 They’re usually small wine stores that double as a bar, packed with bottles of the finest regional wines and a counter piled high with delicious stuzzichini. (They also seem to have a particular kind of atmosphere where time slows down and you leave a lot later than you planned!)

These are some of our favourite salumi, pickle and stuzzichini plates that we have sampled on our visits to Italy. They’re the inspiration behind the menu at our pop-up enoteca this summer.

This Saturday 6 June is the first edition of Enoteca & The Ham & Cheese Co. We’ll be open from 5pm after the market. Come try our favorite bottles from and delicious plates and stuzzichini, made with salami and cheese from the store!

This summer, we’re turning our arch into a pop-up wine bar (or as they call it in Italy - an enoteca!)

Join us every Saturday from 5pm for a selection of our favorite bottles from stuzzichini bites, charcuterie, cheese and pickles - all made with the small-batch Italian producers we stock in our store.

We’ll also be open as usual for the Saturday morning market 8:30-2pm where you can stock up for your own kitchen and hosting.

Opening night: Saturday 6th June, from 5pm. Walk-ins only, so get down early to nab a spot!
