Camille & Co Review

A visit to Bronte’s Favoloso is able to transport any surf-seeker from its suburban beach side location to a little corner of Siciliy; where rich and intensely aromatic coffee is served alongside homemade paninis, and strictly authentic goods and produce are within arms reach.

Favoloso, part café, part delicatessen has all of this on offer, keeping any quixotic Italophile seriously happy about its convenient neighborly position.

The café prepares its meals and paninis daily, making good use of imported and local produce- with the locality of one of their most famed suppliers- Iggy’s bread- fittingly siding across the road. Everyday fresh and crusty ciabatta and sourdough loaves are provided to Favoloso into which go crisp basil, vine ripened tomatoes, cured meats and Italian cheeses.

Exhaustedly veering off the crowded path of Sculptures by the Sea, there is thankfully a quiet spot outside the Belgrave Street haunt. The breezy and shady tables outside Favoloso provide the perfect setting to collect oneself over a full-frothed cappuccino, the paper and a late Sicilian breakfast of ciabatta toast with fresh ricotta, warmed honey, currants, toasted pistachios and almonds ($14.50).

After a few minutes of respite and three coffees later, Favoloso’s grocery store within the café catches my eye. Acting almost like your local corner store, it bears your Sunday morning basics- homemade jams, farm eggs, bacon, the paper- it’s one stop shopping at it’s best! Though it does not showcase your Tip Top White or Streets Cornetto’s- of its corner store predecessor- Favoloso deli offers an exotic assortment of Italian small goods. With the selection ranging from olive oils, vinegars, preserved lemons, dry and fresh pasta, Italian cheeses and your other essentials.

Favoloso well and truly does have its fingers in as many pies as possible. Along with hosting Italian cooking classes and family style dinners they also hold a small seasonal market within the store during the summer months run by the exuberant Sicilian fruiterers.

Favoloso certainly provides a fitting presage to its English translation – fabulous!
