Stefanino Panino e Vino

Tucked deep in the back of Collingwood Yards—a buzzing, high-decibel slice of proper Italian paninoteca culture. Expat Italians routinely crown this their top Melbourne spot for a reason. Immaculate bread. Premium salumi. The Bologna sandwich is a masterclass in simplicity, letting you choose between plain or peppercorn mortadella for that perfect fatty bite. Fast, sharp service keeps the lunch rush moving, slinging stellar espresso and generous sandwiches to a bustling courtyard crowd. Grab a spot at the outdoor picnic tables, soak up the high vibes, and experience a genuinely elite panino. Oh, and the gluten-free bread? Actually phenomenal.
