Salt Meats Cheese Set to Open Broadway Chapter

Inner-city Sydneysiders, there's some unfathomably good Italian nosh coming your way. Alexandria's Salt Meats Cheese is set to open a new chapter on Broadway on April 7.

Modelled on the Alexandria Salt Meats Cheese store and following openings in Mosman, Parramatta, Drummoyne (in conjunction with Harris Farm) and Surfers Paradise, the new food emporium will take over an industrial, exposed brick-clad space opposite Broadway Shopping Centre — with SMC's beloved fromagerie, charcuterie delights, and Italian deli stylings at the ready.

Award-winning, hatted chef Simona Ciantelli has dreamt up an eclectic new menu for the Broadway store. Riding recent trends, SMC has an entire Nutella menu — from the Nutella Cartocci (deep fried pastry with Nutella and custard cream) to the Nutella Heaven Cup (cookies and cream gelato, Ferrero Rocher, Raffaelo, Kinder Bueno and Nutella sauce).

For the more savoury palate, Ciantelli is doing tapas-style dishes and NYC-style burgers influenced by street food of south Italy  like the truffle burger with grilled chicken breast, caramelised Spanish onions, truffled mushroom and gorgonzola sauce on a milky bun. SMC favourites like the egg parpadelle with burnt orange lamb ragu and the black lobster pizza will of course be in abundance.

Tapping into the busy, student-fuelled nature of the Broadway area, Salt Meats Cheese will be doing pre-made cocktails in keepsake bottles — think elderflower spritzes and mezcal Negronis — alongside imported and local wines, Italian beers and Mexican tequilas. Plus, Thursday to Sunday will even see local DJ sets.

Salt Meats Cheese will open at 68 Bay Street, Ultimo (opposite Broadway Shopping Centre) on April 7.
