We first visited this splendid traditional West End café exactly fifteen years ago, back in January 2005 and would regularly pop in before its inevitable closure in December 2007.
We published two features at the time (scroll down for the links), but here’s a selection of photos celebrating a long-lost and much missed café:

I wrote about the New Piccadilly and later filmed there. Do you know if Lorenzo is still with us? His phone number is “unavailable”.
Hey, this is my family’s old cafe. He is indeed still alive and well, his sisters ran the cafe with him. One is still alive and the other (my grandmother) sadly died very recently.
