Mio Locale, which translates to ‘My Local’ in Italian, last month launched its new Sunday Feast menu, a four-course set, themed lunch to be held on the last Sunday of every month.
The new Sunday Feast menu features dishes passed on by the sibling owners, Emily and Maurice Paladino’s nonna, such as house made salamis, pastas, fresh salads and slow cooked meats.
“We’re a family business with mum helping me out in the kitchen, dad doing the market run and my brother, Maurice and I managing the cafe. When we were younger, every Sunday we would do a big cook up and invite family and friends over for lunch. Our Sunday Feast is an homage to that,” says Emily.
Priced at $45 per head (excluding drinks), the next Sunday Feast will be held on Sunday 28 August and available from 1pm–3pm.
Seating is limited so book in advance. And let me tell you; you absolutely should. Having experienced the Sunday Feast last month, I can guarantee that you’ll love it. The food is absolutely delicious, the servings are more than generous, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the people are lovely – it’s rare to walk into a place and feel like you’re home, but at Mio Locale you do.
My tip? Don’t eat breakfast.
Mio Locale is located at 465 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, 3068 and open Tuesday–Sunday from 7am till 4pm.
