Lucia's Fine Foods

Takeaway lunch from @luciasfinefoods located within the @adelcentralmarket: this was their panini of the day - Asparagus, red onion frittata, dairyman ham, something sweet mayo. It was super yummy! Really interesting essentially having a frittata inside he panini.

Was exploring central market and saw a long line so decided to check it out! Tried the sopressa panini which was delicious, all the fillings were so fresh and flavourful. However the bread was quite dry and solid making it hard to bite into. Also felt it was quite a small serving for the price. It was a long wait as well but staff were friendly. Make sure to come early as they do sell out. Wouldn’t mind coming back to try a different panini

I have tried many products from the store, but my top favourite is their balsamic vinegar and raspberry vinegar. So good and addictive, especially now that we are entering summer and we always crave a good salad.

Could not go past the Panini after we saw it being made fresh, plenty of ready made ones at other locations, and the ability to customise it with some Italian chilli and smoked ham was irresistible.

Hot Choc was strong, fresh, fluffy and made from good quality Dark chocolate.

The lady with the orange hair who served me at the Panini bar was incredibly rude and abrasive

Always impressed with the way in which the Saturday staff manage the busy day. Quick, efficient and friendly. Thanks for making my Saturday great

Amazing paninis and product but dear god, the main staff member making them in the deli is one of the rudest people I've had the misfortune to interact with in a service capacity. This isn't a one off, they are awful every single time. Blatantly ignores customers, uses the space to just stand around and have personal conversations, and is rude to fellow staff members. Not expecting much, but basic acknowledgement and service would be a start.

I LOVE the paninis. They’re out of this world delicious, but I always dread having to face the stress of the incredibly chaotic collection system.

It is very frustrating. As a customer I need to mentally keep track of every other customer that arrives before and after me, to make sure those that order after me don’t accidentally take mine. A few times, I have waited up to 40 mins in busy periods where they either lost the napkin and didn’t make it, or gave mine to someone else that ordered well after I did.

Rather than calling out numbers 1-7 *PLEASE* change it to leaving a name for the order, or taking and returning an order number like at a supermarket deli, etc. There has to be a better system, I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks this and I’m sure the lovely staff hate the system too?
