A friend had told me about Caffe Corleone in Leamington Spa a long time ago. It’s a quirky little Italian Café situated on Regent Street. I decided to take Tegan there for lunch as we’d been shopping in Leamington. We sat upstairs on a tiny little table. Everything about the café is tiny, so if you like cosy, Café Corleone is ideal. The café has a charm about it due to its mish-mash décor. There’s a big old fashioned coffee machine situated next to the stair case, an old fashioned sink, old food filled jars sit on the shelves and lots of retro pictures hang on the walls. The cutlery sits in old marmalade tins whilst the sugar sits in old golden syrup tins. A lot of the seating is old wooden benches, some of which bizarrely have no view. It’s all a bit topsy turvy but that’s what gives it its character. There is a constant flow of people which gives the café bags of atmosphere.
We only wanted something small as we were out for dinner with my parents that evening. We ordered two paninis and shared them. We ordered a Sicilian sausage, sun-blushed tomato, red onion and mozzarella panini and a goat’s cheese, smoked ham and red onion marmalade panini. The goat’s cheese one was my favourite. The paninis were served in a wooden basket lined with a 'Caffe Corleone' newspaper with a little salad and a handful of crisps. They were really tasty!
Caffe Corleone is a lovely little place to visit for a quick lunch-time snack if you’re out and about in Leamington.
