Now Open: Mosman's Fourth Village Providore Has Launched a New Panini Bar and Cafe That's Serving Up Italian Fine Foods
A labour of love for almost 20 years, this family-run business showcases Italian-style street food alongside olives grown a few hours up the road.
Fourth Village Providore has been a staple of the Mosman community since 2008, featuring a veritable medley of authentic Italian fine foods. Now the time has come to refresh its offering, with the relaunch of Fourth Village Panini Bar & Café. Serving as the latest chapter of this family business, diners can expect a welcoming communal experience where the simple pleasures of Italian cuisine ring through every dish.
Bringing a new dynamic to the menu, panuozzo is set to be a standout favourite. Born on the outskirts of Naples decades ago, this classic Italian street food is where pizza meets panini. Made with woodfired pizza bread and stuffed with sumptuous ingredients, Fourth Village is offering delicious combinations like salami and mortadella with stracciatella alongside veggie options such as chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables.
Drawing from the business' huge range of high-end goods, the menu extends into house-made focaccia, fresh burrata salads, pastries, woodfired pizzettes and Italian gelato. There's also a selection of tempting desserts, with Fourth Village renowned locally for its panettone french toast. Plus, it will undoubtedly be hard to resist a slice of tiramisu whenever you stop by for a coffee and panini.
"While our restaurant has been a special place for many years, reopening as Fourth Village Panini Bar & Café has been a heartfelt evolution of our family's passion for sharing the authentic flavours of Italy with our community," says Dominic Quattroville, whose parents Peter and Annette founded the business. "The café brings a fresh and inviting space where everyone can enjoy our family recipes and traditions in a casual setting."
The Quattroville family's culinary story dates back to 1997, when they purchased 100 acres of farmland in the Lower Hunter region. Now, the property's 3,500 olive trees are responsible for some of the finest table olives and handcrafted olive oils, whether you prefer Spanish Manzanillo, Greek Kalamata or Italian Frantoio. While olives were the initial focus, soon Fourth Village expanded into condiments, balsamic dressings, pickled vegetables and more.
"Most importantly, this new chapter honours our family's commitment to genuine Italian hospitality, where every guest is treated like family. We're creating a space where people can drop in any time of day, whether it's for a morning coffee and pastry, a relaxed lunch with friends, or a quick afternoon gelato," says Quattroville.
Fourth Village Panini Bar & Café is open Wednesday–Thursday and Sunday from 8am–2pm and Friday–Saturday from 8am-3pm at 5a Vista St, Mosman. Head to the website for more information.
