About Us
Who are L'unico?
Since arriving from Italy in 1909, the Inzani-Rapacioli family has established some of London's landmark cafes, including Islington's Leo's - still busy trading today- and Peter's Cafe in Ivor Place, famously frequented by actors and musicians including Jean Shrimpton and the Rolling Stones through the 50's and 60's.
In 1991, the Inzani-Rapacioli family branched out, founding L'UNICO to supply London with their Milanese-style Musetti coffee. Now in the hands of its third generation, L'unico is still very much a local, East End family affair, delivering Musetti's classic Italian style in a uniquely personal fashion.

Food Critics Choice
TimeOut London – ‘Arguably the best coffee in North London’
The Daily Telegraph – ‘Please make sure you don’t skip the coffee, which is excellent. It is rare to find an espresso so rich and fragrant that it tastes delicious without sugar’
The Independent – ‘The coffee is outstandingly good; my espresso was so strong and short, it was absorbed by a sugar lump, rather than the other way around’
Evening Standard – ‘Remarkably fine espresso’
Waterside Inn – ‘We use L’unico Musetti espresso coffee at The Waterside Inn because it provides our guests with the blend they’d expect from us. The aroma, the quality, the consistency – its superb coffee.’ – Michel Roux
