Just Italy

Located in Melbourne, Just Italy is a genuine Italian haven that offers a dining experience akin to a lively family gathering in the Italian countryside.

Walk through the doors into a rustic-chic atmosphere, where hanging lights warm the terracotta walls, and the scent of freshly baked bread mixes with the robust scents of garlic and basil. It’s a setting where each meal feels like Sunday dinner at Nonna's, welcoming every guest as part of the family.

Start your meal with a selection of antipasti that celebrate tradition and flavor. The olive all'Ascolana is a lineup of crumbed olives filled with a hearty blend of pork, chicken, and beef that ignites conversation, while the spicy Calabrese pork sausage adds some heat.

Share a tagliere platter with friends or savour the creamy folds of prosciutto e bufala mozzarella, each mouthful showcasing the simplicity and depth of Italian cooking.

For mains, the melanzane parmigiana stands as a homage to the wonder of simple ingredients crafted into layers of deliciousness. Nonna’s meatballs, a comforting classic served with Napoli sauce, are a must-try, capturing the essence of comfort food. And if you’re after a bit of luxury, the truffle oil and parmesan in the arancini invite your taste buds with their earthy notes.

The focaccia is perfected here, seasoned with salt, oil, oregano, and a whisper of garlic and rosemary to create the ideal crust and soft center. The focaccia prosciutto, with its delicate saltiness, matches perfectly with the herbed bread.

Pair your meal with a choice from their handpicked drinks list—maybe a bold red wine that complements the intense flavours, or a refreshing spritz embodying the joy of an Italian summer.

End your dining venture at Just Italy with a feeling of fulfillment and the lasting warmth of Italian hospitality. It's a place that invites you back repeatedly, to the undeniable joys and warm embrace of a meal enjoyed with loved ones.
