Hatch End was called the restaurant capital of north west London by a local newspaper. Hatch End has no shortage of Italian style coffee bars and Italian and Indian restaurants.
Caffe Pascucci
Scheduled to open early May, 8-10, they told me, is the Italian Caffè, by the same people as the caffè Pascucci a few doors along towards the Hatch End station. The new branch in on the corner, where the old post office was for years.
I have lived in Hatch End many years and often pass the caffe and find the name hard to remember. I finally got around to looking up the origin of the name. It comes from the Italian word for Easter, so it was a name given to children born around Easter time. Or the offspring of a parent who was given that name.
If your first language is English, how do you remember it? The Italian sounds similar to the French for Easter, Paques. Also the Hebrew Pesach. There you have it, the meaning, and the way to remember the name of the coffee shop.
