La Cantina by Bottega Caruso

"A wine bar and shop from the folks at Bottega Caruso around the corner, La Cantina is a classy little aperitivo spot. Just like its big sibling next door, La Cantina focuses on the simple things done well. Jars of homemade passata line the shelves, thick cuts of speck and pickled courgettes come out on plates, and the offer of takeaway spritzes is almost as tempting as a glass of red vermouth over ice indoors. The menu doesn’t extend much beyond excellent charcuterie and cheeses, but everything is sourced and plated with care." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"A wine bar and shop from the folks at Bottega Caruso around the corner, La Cantina is a classy little aperitivo spot in Margate. Just like its big sibling next door, La Cantina focuses on the simple things done well. Jars of homemade passata line the shelves, thick cuts of speck and pickled courgettes come out on plates, and the offer of takeaway spritzes is almost as tempting as a glass of red vermouth over ice indoors. The menu doesn’t extend much beyond excellent charcuterie and cheeses, but everything is sourced and plated with care. On Fridays and Saturdays it’s open until 10:30pm, so if you’re looking for a candlelit post-dinner digestif, La Cantina suits very well. photo credit: Jake Missing photo credit: Jake Missing" - Jake Missing
