The team transformed the old premises into a bright, daytime casual café, Amuri by Day, serving focaccia sandwiches and paniniBrothers Andrea and Luca Licciardello hail from Ramacca in Sicily. In 2022, they teamed up with Paul Foley of the Corkscrew to open Amuri, an Italian restaurant above the off-licence premises on Chatham Street.

The team transformed the old premises into a bright, daytime casual cafe, Amuri by Day, serving focaccia sandwiches and panini. They also view it as a salumeria where you can buy freshly cut, cured meats and cheese by weight, which are displayed in a large glass deli counter. The focaccia, which they source from OakSmoke bakery, is fermented using a poolish, a rye flour-based sourdough starter with one per cent yeast. It has a hydration level of 73 per cent and ferments for five to six hours before it is blasted at 260 degrees in a polin stratos electric deck oven.

There are a few stools if you want to eat on site, and listen to the tunes playing on the Italian radio station.Tābú Tapas review: Joyously delicious tapas in a neighbourhood setting An arancinu al pistachio, a porchetta focaccia, a vegetarian focaccia and a pistachio cannoli. The panini had sold out by the time we visited.The arancinu is sizeable, crispy and gold on the outside with a centre of stretchy cheese. The focaccia sandwiches are very substantial, cut into two. The crust is golden, splashed with olive oil and the crumb is open with plenty of irregular sized holes.
