Pinch La Deli

How many places do you know where you can get a classic Neapolitan ricotta-ham sandwich and Sicilian cannoli while stocking up on Kewpie mayonnaise and karaage chicken? This is a coffee shop, a wine bar, an Italian deli, an aperitivo bolthole, a Japanese minimarket and supper club all rolled into one. It is genuinely a must visit if you like any of those things. It is as if owners (and husband and wife,) Eihab and Hiromi couldn’t agree whose homeland had better cuisine, so they saved themselves an argument and created this. And honestly, if you like Japanese food, their supper clubs, hosted by chef Megumi Takeyama, put the ‘oooh’ in oishii; the ‘(holy) sh*t!’ in shitake.
