Welcome to Antipasti Deli & Cafe

“ I thought the chicken schnitzel panni was a bit boring, a bit too bready & not as filling as expected. The Portuguese tart was nice but not for the price. Good coffees, good service. Great for specialities, and hard to find stuff. I will be back to try more of their deli items. As it all does, looks good. ”

“ Without a doubt the best value for money deli/cafe in Australia at the Antipasti Cafe in Yarraville. The spread below was so delicious and at just $20 incredibly good value. The service is amazing and the decor and atmosphere second to none. The owners take a lot of pride. This is obvious. Just saying! ”

“ Lovely place, I’ve moved into the area around 6 months ago and Fab and his team have made me feel like a have a group of people here like family. If you have an issue, bring it up in store and you will walk away happier then ever, he wants every single person who enters to leave happy and satisfied and if you can’t find something on floor, he will make sure he helps you however he can. Great place for an authentic experience. I would recommend to anyone. ”

“ Rating is based on the deli here. Amazing range of cheeses, cured meat, wines and other small goods to make your own anti pasto platters. We loved the prosciutto and salumi that were available and the blue cheese we got was nice and strong . Staff were friendly and offered great advice on what would go together well on a platter. Definitely will be back to try their cafe food. ”

“ absolutely adore this local deli — it’s truly a hidden gem and a place that feels like home the moment you step through the door. Whether you’re after a quick bite or a lovingly prepared meal to take home, this deli has it all. The food is fresh, vibrant, and made on-site with care and pride. From mouthwatering deli sandwiches and pillowy focaccias to their fresh, house-made pasta — perfect for an easy yet satisfying dinner — every bite is a reminder of just how good food can be when it’s made with heart. The full breakfast and lunch menu is generous and delicious, and let’s not forget the coffee — rich, smooth, and always spot on. The cakes are the perfect finishing touch (or reason to come back later in the day!). The ambience is warm and welcoming, with a genuine sense of community in the air. Fab, the owner, is a ray of sunshine — always on-site, always smiling, and always going the extra mile to make sure your experience is just right. It’s that personal touch that makes this place so special. I feel incredibly lucky to have this deli just around the corner from my home, but honestly? I’d happily go out of my way to visit. It’s worth it — every time. If you haven’t yet discovered this delightful spot, I can’t recommend it enough. Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere, and don’t forget to browse the shelves for the amazing range of European-inspired treats. You won’t leave empty-handed — or hungry. ”

“ Come here ASAP. You're a fool if you don't.. The food is legit, the service is unreal. Buy a bottle of wine and sit outside while you smash a sandwich. Enjoy the Italian vibes and buy your next dinner parties supplies. Their anchovies are lit as well. Come through xx ”

“ For an absolute quality feast at affordable #melbournecheapeats prices, I was blown away by everything and I can't speak highly enough of this place! The second you step into this deli/cafe, Fabian and his team will treat you like familigia and you will feel like his casa is your casa. Serving a deliciously smooth and strong local blend of coffee at under $5 to cheap borek. I was impressed about how much of the menu is actually in-house made (including the pizza box design). The reuben sandwich was loaded with fresh and salty pastrami, tangy sauerkraut and a sandwich pickle spread that was ultimate in my hunt to find the best reuben in Melbourne! And the pesto chicken focaccia was absolute Italiano panino heaven. The homemade arancini was the size of a baseball and between that and the carbonara, I honestly felt like my nonna had come in and made it herself. The flavours were something, the affordable price another but the hospitality and love witnessed, is the real reason to keep coming back. No need to go anywhere but here , vai ora e buon appetito! ”

“ More than just a deli or a cafe. Meals, dine in or take away! Great Italian beer range! Anna makes the coffee in town. Fab is always going out of his way when asked. This is our go to! Come and see why for yourself! ”
