We still remember standing amongst the vines at Capichera in beautiful Sardinia, tasting the wines and meeting the people behind them. 🍷🇮🇹

Today, we’re proud to share those same wines with you here at La Pizzeria Italiana.

From the rolling hills of Sardegna to our little corner of Beaumaris, every bottle tells a story of tradition, family, and passion.

If you’re looking for something truly special to enjoy with your pizza, ask us about our Capichera wines next time you visit.

Salute! 🍷✨

Can’t get enough Lasagnaaaaa. Fresh out of the oven.

Our homemade lasagna is baked to perfection with layers of slow-cooked ragù, béchamel, and plenty of mozzarella.

The kind of comfort food that warms you up on a cold winters day in Melbourne.

Who’s grabbing a slice this weekend?

Antonio and Julia are the husband and wife team behind La Pizzeria Italiana.

Antonio is from Sardinia, Italy. Julia is Australian-born with Calabrese parents, which basically means neither of them can have a quiet opinion about food.

Before opening the restaurant, Antonio brought his culinary talents around the world — London, Porto Cervo, Melbourne — basically collecting life experience (and sleep deprivation).

Julia also managed to travel from LA to Italy working in film, TV and theatre… which turns out is perfect training for hospitality, because both involve chaos, drama, and pretending everything is under control.

They met in Melbourne in 2016… at a pizzeria. Of all places. Very original for two Italians, we know.

Julia was visiting family. Antonio was making pizzas. One thing led to another… and now here they are:
married, sleep deprived, covered in flour, and running a restaurant together.

Some of you might remember us from our cosy little Italian bar on Toorak Road in South Yarra, where we spent five years surviving on espresso, spritzes, panini, cannoli… and optimism.

Fast forward to now and we somehow have a pizzeria in Beaumaris, plus a tiny boss named Piero running the place like he’s on payroll.

These days life mostly revolves around dough, wine, late nights, and the most dangerous question in any marriage:

“What do you feel like eating?”

Anyway… that’s the short version.

The long version requires several bottles of wine and Antonio explaining things with his hands for 45 minutes. 🤌🏼🍷🍕🇮🇹❤️

What people say

Italiana Delicatessen is a true gem in South Yarra, Melbourne that offers customers a little trip to Italy every day. This family-run business is owned by husband and wife team Julia and Antonio, along with Julia's mother Rose. The love, passion, dedication, sacrifice, and hard work put into this place are evident in the authentic Italian food they serve.

Antonio, an experienced chef from Sardinia who has worked around the world, brings his strong love and passion for food to Italiana Delicatessen. Julia, an actress full of creativity and love for good food, learned many of her mother's recipes and qualities that she now shares with customers.

The shop itself is part of South Yarra Square (or Piazza), making it the perfect spot to enjoy a fresh made-to-order panino and espresso while watching the fountain. The infectious love and friendliness of the team will make you feel welcomed as soon as you step inside.

Italiana Delicatessen truly lives up to its name - giving pleasure, delightful, pleasing - offering customers an authentic slice of Italy in Melbourne. It's no wonder that this small shop was born out of Julia and Antonio's honeymoon in Italy after visiting the historical and famous "All'Antico Vinaio". If you're looking for a taste of Italy in Melbourne, look no further than Italiana Delicatessen on Toorak Road.
