Zita's Focaccia

Those chasing the perfect alveolatura—that airy, open crumb structure—flock to this Toorak Road staple. Run by proud Romans (just peep the AS Roma scarf on the wall), Zita’s Focaccia delivers absolute sandwich perfection. Shatteringly crisp on the outside. Pillowy and light within. Never greasy. South Yarra carb enthusiasts are aggressively loyal to the 'Too Hot To Last' and the 'Roman Empire'—heaped with impeccably balanced meats, fresh ingredients, and punchy sauces. Snag a flat white, claim one of the highly coveted sunny street tables, and dive into a masterclass of croccante Italian baking. Pure, unadulterated Roman joy.
