Quietly open all week, the official launch of new Marylebone 'Galateria and Foccaceria' Cocorino is next Wednesday, 30 September. The baby of L’Anima head chef Francesco Mazzei, with Linda Yau, the newcomer provides sensible take-out items such as oatmeal and soups, whilst also offering a bar dispensing 20 flavors of Italian ice-cream, ranging in price from £3 for a 5-oz. cup or £1.80 per scoop in a cone. Stuffed focaccia, ciabatta, soughdough and piadina will be available all day with fillings including stracchino, rocket, bresaola, spianata, peppers and spinach, and egg and Tuscan sausage for breakfast; prices range from £3–£4. Not many streets away, chocolate shop Cocomaya is opening a high-end artisan bakery, which we'll have more on nearer its opening, currently targeted for the third week in October.
