I stumbled in here for lunch on their first day/sort of soft launch. Alimento is splitting it's space in two with a restaurant/cafe on one side and a small market on the other side.
From what I've seen so far they seem to be focusing on meats, baked goods and cheese but I'm sure there will be plenty more to go with it.
I grabbed a porchetta sandwich on fresh from the oven focacia and it was very nice. It was a bit salty for my tastes but the peppers and porchetta were very nice. From there I grabbed a slice of potato pizza. It was a nice size and a decent price but I liked their explanation of how they are going to serve pizza in the future. You will be given a choice of how large a slice you want and then be charged by the weight. That sounds like a really good idea to me as I end up with portions so large I can't finish them more often than not.
This converted warehouse space looks nice and kind of cozy with all the exposed wood. There's a tonne of natural light and everything looks to be laid out nicely. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all comes together in the next few days.
The dining half of the floor looks like it will probably seat forty or so customers comfortably but it looked like there was only seating for twenty or so. I'll let you know if they add more seating.
So far, I'm impressed and will certainly be going back.
