As the afternoon pressed on we decided we would need to eat and so went to the Corleone Cafe. Clare had wanted to try this place but it is always really busy and being small it is hard to find a seat. On a Thursday afternoon, despite it still being busy, we managed to get a table upstairs.
Sitting in a booth next to an open window looking down onto the street it was lovely. The rustic furniture, dog eared menus really do show off shabby chic at it's best. The food is standard fayre. Paninis, baguettes etc but it is served in a bowl with a mock newspaper advertising the cafe and showing stories of various gangsters.The walls have pictures taken from The Godfather and Soprano's and some covers of Italian magazines. Despite the cliches the place is really cosy. The food was lovely and the atmosphere really nice. I also liked the fact that my olives were served in a cup and saucer. This place could be my new favourite place to eat in Leamington!
It was a nice day in all. Clare bought some new clothes and I picked up a couple of CDs. We also got chatting to the owners of Doll's Domain toy shop next to Royal Priors Shopping Centre. They were lovely and far more helpful than the staff in Avon Toys around the corner! Clare bought a jigsaw (from their huge collection) as well as a traditional bingo game for our next get together.
We spent more time shopping than anticipated but all in all a good day out and a nice way to round of a fantastic couple of days!
