This was a gift. Second time I’ve ordered from your company. I was told that it was very good the first time but haven’t had any feedback this second time. Thank you
I ordered this as a Christmas gift and was very happy with the online chat facility that enabled me to check the longevity of the content. Although I saw from the tracking that the delivery had been made to a neighbour, the person making the delivery didn't leave a note at my friends' address to tell them where the box was. It took quite some time for it to reach its intended destination! Having said that, I've heard that the contents were wonderful and much enjoyed. Coming from foodies such as my friends, this is praise indeed. If the delivery person had only left a note, this would be a resounding 5* review.
Lovely packages, great communication and absolutely delicious treats! Really good x
Selection of Italian food was great, just as described. My son is a foody and was well impressed with the range of fare and couldn't wait to tuck in. S o a great birthday present.
I received the Original Box delivered to my doorstep as a surprise for my birthday. It was absolutely delicious and felt very authentic. The focaccias are a really great and unique addition. I loved how each ingredient was specially picked from various regions of Italy. During this weird world we live in, we figured if you’re now allowed to go to the Italian Lakes then you may as well try your best to bring them to you! I couldn’t recommend these guys more. Great service and speedy prompt delivery.
