Fino Deli’s classy structure of an old, wooden house with large glass windows looks like a scene from the enchanted forest. Upon entering the restaurant, it looks like you’re going to be dining with medieval royalty—heavy wooden tables, dark leather clad seats, and a shower of different wine glasses on every table.

In fact, the 80-seater Fino Deli is built on the foundations of a house; the tabletops are made of what used to be the house’s hardwood floors. There’s al fresco seating at either side of the resto and a function room in the back that you canr ent out for private events.

As enchanting as Fino Deli is, they just want to be your home away from home with good food and even better wine. Most of their regulars often come in their house clothes and it’s a-okay with everyone.
