Camisa's Deli
The pasta making machine at Camisa's Deli, which was decommissioned after the council said the machine didnt adhere to health and safety rules, mostly based on the fear that there wasnt a hand guard on the machine. Camisa's Deli in Soho is closing after decades of being one of the most recognisable food shops in Soho. I Camisa & Son has been in the city centre for over 90 years. Originally opened in 1929, brothers Ennio and Isidoro Camisa ran London's first real Italian food store. During the second world war, many Italian immigrants in the UK were detained and held in camps, including the two brothers. This sadly meant their original deli at 66 Old Compton Street had to close down. in 1948, the two Camisas returned to Soho. For many years they ran a store on 1 Berwick Street before parting ways. Isidro relocated back to Old Compton Street in 1961, at number 61.
