Alimentari Smith Street

Collingwood's design-forward Italian deli-cafe, famed for truffle risotto and porchetta.

Strikingly designed art-deco-inspired interior with exposed brick, a cosy fireside back room and a hidden rear courtyard. genuinely photogenic, described by reviewers as one of Melbourne's most beautiful cafes.

Log fireplace in the back dining room, a lush rear courtyard, and a globally-inspired breakfast menu (Italian Breakfast, Persian Breakfast) alongside the deli classics.

Italian deli heritage runs through the name and menu (Alimentari, salami/mortadella/prosciutto sandwiches, porchetta), broadened with dishes like a Persian Breakfast reflecting an eclectic modern-cafe approach.

Reviewers call it 'a little on the pricier side' for brunch/cafe fare, generally justified by food quality and the striking interior, though a vocal minority feel it's overrated for the price.
