Europa Deli & Cafe
A Vaughan Street fixture for around 25 years, this deli and providore has been run since 2017 by Joe and Anna Mallamaci, who came to it with long experience in food and hospitality. The counter is built around cheese, French and Dutch imports alongside Australian makers, with Floridia ricotta, marinated olives and fresh smallgoods from Bertocchi, Barkly Smokehouse and Don. Beyond the deli case there are pantry goods, made-to-order hampers, catering and a cafe side pouring coffee and serving lunch. It functions as Shepparton's European-style providore, the sort of place locals rely on for ingredients that would otherwise mean a trip to Melbourne. Independently owned, it trades on the owner's reputation for service as much as on what fills its shelves.
