sosta cucina

In the heart of North Melbourne's burgeoning food precinct sits Sosta Cucina, a welcoming space delivering fine Northern Italian cuisine with warm and familiar service.

Since opening its doors in May 2007, Sosta Cucina has consistently impressed and excited Melbourne's food community with a traditional meets contemporary Northern Italian inspired menu.

Owner, Maurice Santucci and Head Chef Travis Humphery have successfully combined over 30 years of experience with their Northern Italian heritage and mutual passion for "good, unpretentious Italian food" to produce a dynamic menu that like Sosta itself, is elegant yet informal.

Sosta Cucina's menu is constantly evolving; incorporating the best seasonal produce as well showcasing fantastic Italian products. On offer is a selection of daily additional dishes depending on what is sourced at the market! Sosta prides itself on a great selection of fine Italian wines as well as offering a broad selection from Australia's most renowned wine regions.

Sosta Cucina offers a two or three course lunch and early dinner menu called 'Cucina Povera'. It's great value at $25 for two courses and $32 for 3 courses and available Tuesday to Sunday. The 'Cucina Povera' menu changes weekly according to season and availability.

Sosta Cucina can cater for bookings both large and small. With two private dining rooms, we can cater for groups of 20 - 30, as well as offer restaurant exclusivity for up to 55 people. From corporate functions to special family events, the team @ Sosta Cucina will work with you to ensure your event is absolutely perfect! Contact us for more information.
