Melbourne Quarter has today announced Saluministi’s newest venue is set to open in the precinct on Thursday 22nd February 2024.
Melbourne’s cult favourite, family-run paninoteca, Saluministi, will bring a vibrant personality to Melbourne Quarter’s dining and entertainment precinct as the newest addition to the community. Saluministi’s fun and relaxed atmosphere will transport diners to a classic paninoteca in Florence or Rome.
To celebrate the venue opening, Saluministi at Melbourne Quarter will be giving away free panini from 11am until 2pm on Thursday 22nd February 2024. The giveaway will see two of Saluministi’s signature panini served, including the Porchetta Panino and the Mortadella Panino. The festivities will also see live music from Siesta Cartel setting the tone of the exciting day as well as San Pellegrino drink giveaways and coffee vouchers up for grabs. Available to all Melburnians, customers are encouraged to arrive early to secure their delicious panino, crafted from the finest ingredients and made with love.
Christopher Munn, Project Director, Melbourne Quarter comments, “The opening of Saluministi is a significant and welcome addition to the dynamic retail community at Melbourne Quarter. The precinct is growing each day and we’re dedicated to creating a vibrant and diverse destination that all Melburnians, and visitors alike, will absolutely love.”
Saluministi owners Frank Bressi and Peter Mastro have designed a menu for Melbourne Quarter which covers breakfast and lunch as well as snacks and desserts. The menu will include all of the fan favourites, such as ‘The Porchetta Panino’ with free range slow roasted pork, artichoke paste, pecorino cheese and rocket; ‘The Salsiccia Panino’ featuring a grilled pork and fennel sausage (a nod to their award-winning salami); and the ‘Pollo Panino’ with crumbed chicken, provolone cheese, roasted peppers, chilli and rocket. As one of the original made to order sandwich venues in Melbourne, Saluministi will continue to focus on serving up freshly made panini, utilising the best local and Italian produce available.
Mastro comments, “The Saluministi family have been working hard on our newest venue, and we are very excited to be putting the finishing touches on everything. We are excited to welcome our new customers within and surrounding the Melbourne Quarter community. We look forward to meeting the new faces and serving Melbourne’s best panini and Italian style coffee on Gunpowder Walk, within this wonderful precinct.”
Saluministi’s freshly filled cannoli and bomboloni will also be available at the Melbourne Quarter venue, paired perfectly with their Italian style coffee. The venue will also be offering catering services for corporate events and activities surrounding the precinct.
The Melbourne Quarter site will be the third venue for Italian maestros, Bressi and Mastro. Saluministi venues can also be found at 388 Flinders Lane, Melbourne and 892 Bourke St, Docklands.
