The Source for Italian groceries in the north. It's almost all good, but there's real value in the Felicetti organic pasta, BioNature organic canned goods, and big chunks of organic reggiano. Skip the ordinary Italian wines and spend your booze budget on well-priced Peroni, Aperol and Campari. Save $1.50 for Melbourne's cheapest espresso shot at the busy coffee bar.
