Reminiscent of the narrow streets of Southern Italy,Via Porta Eatery and Deli reflects on family childhood memories of our Clients, spent with their Nonna’s mastering authentic Italian dishes. Paying homage to this ritual, Via Porta Eatery and Deli is an extension of the traditional Italian family kitchen and pantry offering patrons a varied experience; an all-day Eatery and soon to be restaurant by night, and Deli offering take home meals, house made condiments and locally sourced and imported artisanal products.
Showcasing the varied offering in equal measure, the versatile layout welcomes patrons into the Eatery dining area and subtly but strategically transitions into the deli retail offering. The array of products lining the merchandise shelving guides the procession towards a monolithic Deli counter. Lined with textural limestone, the counter accentuates the idea of the ‘Italian alleyway’ and provides a neutral backdrop to the selection of vibrant cold meats on display.
An upstairs dining room caters for general dining and private events complete with a Juliette balcony that articulates a beautiful romanticism whilst providing connection to the activity of the venue.
The palette is intentionally minimal but textural adopting honest finishes and traditional methods inspired by Southern Italy. The crazy paving flooring, created from earthy toned offcuts destined for landfill, is the hero of the design for its beautifully imperfect nature and tactile quality. Originating from ancient Rome and found in abundance in Italy, it was a non-negotiable design statement forVia Porta.
Two years in the making, Via Porta Eatery and Deli is an exciting new landmark for Mont Albert.
