An Italian man who has been living in Belfast for nearly 10 years has achieved his dream of opening an authentic café.
Francesco Iaquinta has a background in sports and had previously worked as a personal trainer, but said the idea for his café and bistro La Bottega was always in the back of his head.
The deli, bistro and food market specialises in authentic Italian produce, and has gone from strength to strength since Francesco launched it in November last year.
