She began by showcasing the cafe's delicious fresh Sicilian cannoli, which come with a choice of chocolate, ricotta or pistachio filling at £4 each or three for £10.

She added of Ciao Italy Gnam, which can be found on Cregagh Road: "You can sit in and have a coffee, or there's little seats out the front too."
As staff prepared fresh Focaccia, Tarryn browsed a variety of fresh and dried meats.
"Honestly there was so much and we told them it was our first time there and they gave us free coffee," she continued, holding aloft her complementary espresso.
Tarryn went on to praise in a summary of her visit: "It was just the cutest little experience - I felt like I was standing in a grocery store in Italy. There was meat, cheeses, pastas, olives - everything you need.
"I cannot recommend this place enough and I am genuinely so glad I found it."
