Laghi's Deli

Dinner. For Stuart Deeley new menu launch. Stuart, who was Master ChefThe Professionals Champion 2019, has been appointed executive chef of this delightful Italian restaurant in Edgbaston. Along with head chef Patrick Huckins, they have created a whole new menu. Us being Stu's greatest fan boys,we just had to get booked in to see his latest creations. Everything was so tempting that we could have ordered the whole menu but decided to be sensible. Maybe leave something different to choose for the next time. Started with a snack Bombolone, Red onion marmalade smothered in Rachael Reserva cheese. Three small plates Courgette and ricotta Fritters with Lemon and a dip. Pig's head fritters with a Basil Aioli. Barbecued Queenie Scallops with Espelette Sauce, which were cooked perfect and absolutely delicious. You can't come to an Italian without having a pasta dish. And what a dish it was 'Nduja Campanelli. Pasta that looks like chanterelle mushrooms cooked al dente,the proper Italian way with one of the tastiest sauces we have ever eaten. Plates from the Barbecue Onglet with a Salsa Verde and Whole Plaice with warm tartare sauce,plus a side of Polenta chips, Pecorino. There was no way we were going to miss out on a dessert or two. You know it makes sense. Fried Pannetone Bread and Butter pudding ,milk gelato and what is sure to be a must for every diner,the Tirami-stu.WOW! To end a very impressive meal, we had two perfectly made liquor coffees in the bar area.As we said our goodbyes and thanks to Stu and the team for a very enjoyable evening in Brum.

Mi Piace, Laghi’s Deli! Mio Moglie & my, favourite place, in Birmingham, for coffee & obligatory bombolone. We’re lucky, we live in Sutton: otherwise, we’d visit everyday & be the size of a house! My late mother in law, loved Laghi’s: as she always felt, like she’d been transported, back home, to 🇮🇹 Have eaten here, previously and food is always perfect ❤️ As well, as Coffee & Bombolone: we visited Deli today; to collect Mortadella & Prosciutto, for Christmas 👍

Food overall was pretty good and tasty, only gripe is the portion sizes are very small, especially the sharing portions, pictured above. Service was really good, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. Atmosphere is nice and would be better but I had the unlucky experience of going at the same time with tons of screaming kids, running around all over the place.

it opens at 10:00 but you can order the lunch menus only after 12:00, before that you can only have sandwiches and drinks. arrived 11:30 and waited for the kitchen to operate while having americano(very strong so had to add milk) enjoyed the pasta very much but cheese on the pizza felt a bit stiff to me.
