i discovered this place nearly 4 yrs ago. i was living in brisbane & we were holidaying in melb. i remember being absolutely crazy excited about everything they sold...& more so the excellent prices. on our 1st visit we left with so much that i had 4 heavy carry on bags for the plane & a fuming husband because i bought so much...i think his words were 'this is bloody ridiculous!'...
with me now living in melbourne and a good 30 minute drive away i tend to visit every 4-6 weeks & buy up...it is nice to be able to load into the boot of the car & not struggle with heavy bags on a plane anymore.
the sydney rd store opened in 1977 & is still owned & operated by the same family.
the regulars in my trolley range from lavazza coffee, olives, tapenade, spicy salsa, many bags of pasta, parmesan, pecorino, olive oil, balsamic, sea salt, salami, mozzarella, lentils, oo flour, polenta, their house baked bread, biscotti, dried herbs, wine, limoncello...and the list goes on...i do usually get tempted by many other things. you can also refuel whilst shopping at their instore cafe/pasticceria...
open mon-thurs 9 to 5:30pm, fri 9 to 6:30pm & saturday 8:30 to 2pm...closed sunday.
