Current and upcoming locations

In 2002, Luciano took the innovative move to open a 'concept' coffee bar in the centre of London, on the famous Charing Cross Road. Since then he has opened coffee shops in some of the most prestigious locations in London. Including the glamorous Southbank Centre branch, which expands the brand to include an authentic Italian restaurant.

Following on from these achievements, with the ground-breaking New Street Square. This store offers the true Italian ambiance by breaking down the misguided idea of dividing a coffee house and a pub, allowing Londoners to Indulge themselves in our Italian Bar experience!

Most recently Luciano took the bold step to salvage the decrepit old shop at Staple Inn, resurrecting it to its former glory in order to make it the jewel of a coffee shop it is today.

Staple Inn

This location is a local landmark and an international icon. Built in 1545 it was one of the few buildings to survive the great fire of London in 1666, only to be bombed by the Nazi's in 1944. The building went through major reconstruction work with the majority of the original facade being salvaged and fully restored after the war. Since then the shop has been in steady decline with very little money spent on it since Shevrington's tobacco shop fitted the unit out in the seventies. Luciano took the bold step to salvage the decrepit shop, resurrecting it to its former glory, in order to make it the jewel of a coffee shop it is today.

Southbank

This shop is at the prestigious Southbank Centre at the entrance to the Royal Festival Hall overlooking the River Thames. Luciano was delighted to be invited by the South Bank Centre to open a second outlet at their iconic venue, which is very much a sign of confidence in his work. Luciano does not understate his achievements - voted Coffee Shop of the Year by a leading London magazine and even Giles Coren, the Times' restaurant critic, drops by from time to time, referring to it as 'the only purveyor of food and drink in the world whose premises I am unable to walk past without entering. "Comparing Caffe Vergnano with some of the leading coffee chains is like lumping The Ivy Restaurant together with McDonald's," says Luciano
