A Taste of Italy in Bedford Place 2021-12-19, Chris
A brand new Italian deli has opened in Bedford Place, offering a wide variety of Italian products including wine, biscuits, cakes, cheese, San Marzano tomatoes (widely accepted as the tomato to use in Italian cooking), a huge array of pastas, preserves, beer and spirits.
The staff are welcoming and happy to help you make an informed decision on which goodies to take home. It's not as easy to travel to Italy in the current situation, but alongside some of our great Italian restaurants, Florio's D'Italia is one of the best ways to transport yourself to the great flavours of the country whilst never leaving Southampton.
Inside the freezer you'll find pistachio gelato, and even bread baked in Milan ready for you to take home and thaw. I can verify that the bread is delicious toasted.
Florio's D'Italia, who also have a shop in Portsmouth, is open 6 days a week from 1000 - 1830.

Here we go, it's the run up to Christmas and there's lots to see and do. Please grab a booster if you can and support our great local venues and shops this Christmas season. From the brilliant chaos of The Sweetchunks Band and their friends The Devil's Prefects and Jolly Roger, to the brilliant Southampton Christmas tradition that is the Ukulele Jam's Christmas Cabaret and much in between, there's a lot to be excited about.

An explanation as to why there are two cover photos from last week's gigs - put simply I couldn't chose between Hannah Moule and The Moulettes, and Mad Dog Mcrea. Both were sublime gigs that I thoroughly recommend the next time they are in town. Unity Brewery is also an excellent live music venue it seems, once they've moved some of the beer out of the way!
Hannah Moule and The Moulettes, Unity Brewery As for this week there are yet more delicious festive treats in store for you Southampton. On Thursday, why not be serenaded whilst you tuck into delicious veggie food at October Books' first evening café? Micro Music on the same evening offers a selection of the city's finest in the equally lovely setting of Mettricks Guildhall. From Westcountry legends The Wurzels to local king of the double bass Grant Sharkey, from Spunge to the psychedelic sounds of the Ozric Tentacles, there's surely something up your street this week. If you find something awesome through these listings, please let us know through our Facebook group .
