The Italian Place

Is it a bakery? Is it a delicatessen? Well yes but it’s also a café/​pizza bar!
Some Sunday nights (check FB for more details:
) they host pizza nights and for $ 25.00 (yes, twenty five dollars) you get to sit among the shelves of pasta, tomato pieces and every type of pickled vegetable and enjoy antipasto (freshly sliced from behind the counter), pizza (all you can eat), dessert and coffee/​tea.
The all you can eat pizza is an unusual concept because you don’t have to finish the pizza to get a new one. We ate a half a seafood pizza before moving on to another and finished half of that and the leftovers were put in a box for us to bring home! You don’t really order anything its more of a «get what you are given» scenario which is good for us indecisive people because you don’t have to agonise over the menu trying to make a decision.
Desserts are baked in house and the snowflake/​hazelnut one we had was amazing but again they just bring out whatever dessert they want and you just enjoy.
To top is all off the house wine is pretty cheap so a very inexpensive night out!

Really enjoyed my first visit to The Italian Place today. Service was quick and efficient, and the prices of the food and drink was very competitive. They catered well for our large group, bringing orders promptly and not messing any of them up.
The décor is very Italian delicatessan slash café and is just lovely. There’s a huge range of foodstuffs for sale to take home as well as fresh baked breads, salads, pastries, deserts, savouries and more. There’s also a fantastic Italian Vespa on display inside.
The French vanilla flat white coffee I had was quite possibly the best I’ve had in a VERY long time, and at $ 3.40, cheaper than a lot of other places. I also tried the almond tart which was impossible to resist, and I was not disappointed, it was incredibly delicious and not overly sweet, just right.
Overall, this is a great place for a coffee and cake stop, or even a coffee stop. And while you’re at it, grab some fresh bread or other things to take home! I’ll definitely be back.
