If you enjoy authentic italian coffee, food and deli, this is a must go if you are in the Dorchester area.
Great selection of foods, the staff are friendly and full of charisma!
We are staying in Chetnole and have been twice.
First we wanted a quick coffee and luckily found Minas, ended up buying a selection of Pastry and sweets and sitting out the front.
Second time we stopped in we tried a couple of the pasta dishes. Quick to come out, real authentic flavours and very reasonably priced. Great for a quick relaxed lunch, in true italian tradition the owner was great with the kids.

And assuming that the contents hadn't evaporated, it would have been very sparsely filled even in its normal state. And we had to pay a completely exorbitant...
