Great Italian food starts with great Italian ingredients, and the place to go to get the best is Boccaccio Cellars in Balwyn. It’s not just a well-stocked bottle shop, it’s full-blown family-run Italian supermarket.
Let’s start in the supermarket, Boccaccio IGA Cellars. You can totally do your weekly shop here, but wait until you see the deli counter. There’s a massive array of incredible smallgoods, some of which you’d hard pressed finding anywhere else. Get the best of Italian and Australian smallgoods artisans all here in the one cabinet.
What goes with smallgoods? Cheese of course, and Boccaccio have seven professional cheese mongers on staff, ready to answer your questions, give you buying suggestions and helping you pick put the right cheese for the right occasion. And don’t forget to taste the family’s wine downstairs in the cellars.
And upstairs, you’ll find the superb Enoteca Boccaccio, a hatted restaurant turning out classic Italian flavours in some seriously clever dishes – like the grilled Fremantle octopus, the rigatoni all’Amatriciana or the pastured Wesleydown duck with plum.
Shop, sip or dine – and it’s all under the one roof.
