It's 25 year history has built up an established clientele who love the continental delights it holds. Browsing the shelves I found more than a few items I would like to take home.
The cafe section has expanded well beyond it's four walls to take up the 'footpath' outside the shop and even to a small area around a stair well in the car park. Even though our table was located well away from the deli interior, service was relatively quick and efficient with only a minor coffee order mix up marring the day.
Our choices included savoury mince - a slightly spicy, rich tomato mince sauce which came with a poached egg - and a turkey special with smoked turkey, avocado, cheese, cranberry sauce and lettuce for $8 - good value. Also on the list were roast vegetable lasagna and veal scalloppina which were both pronounced excellent by those who chose them.
The chippies, and I am something of an expert on good chippies, were twice cooked and nicely crisp without being too crunchy.
The food was well priced, plentiful, well presented and full of flavour. A great spot for an informal lunch, coffee catchup or simple meal. Next time I'd avoid sitting in the car park area around the stairwell - it just felt a little second best.
Bottom line: Well loved for a reason, this is no frills but comfortable cafe-style Italian influenced dining.
