Italian Street Food Pop-Up

Overview

Crispy, sweet, stuffed with a creamy filling and made in a variety of flavours, there's only one thing wrong with cannoli. No matter how many that you happen to devour in a single sitting (admit it — no one just eats one), it never feels like you've ever had enough.

If you know that sensation all too well, then you might want to tempt your tastebuds down to Locale on Saturday, May 9. For one day, the Newstead cafe is hosting another pop-up — and while this one isn't solely dedicated to cannoli, they are on the street food-filled menu. Feeling hungry? There'll be both ricotta ($5) and vanilla ($4) flavours available, plus dulce de leche and caramelised pear maritozzi, as well as a strawberry and cream variety too ($5.50 each). Or, tuck into a caprese focaccia ($5.50) or one of four different types of arancini ($5.50 each), such as beef ragu, pistachio and ham, prawn and seafood bisque, and spinach and mushroom.

Reflecting the current socially distant situation, it's strictly a pre-order-only affair — so head online, place an order and then wait for your allocated collection time (which'll be between 11am–1pm or 5–7pm).

If you're choosing to go out and support local businesses, have a look at the latest COVID-19 advice and social-distancing guidelines from the Department of Health.
