Mascalzone Altona

Best Known For

Gourmet pizza choices such as Vesuvio – fior di latte, smoked scamorza cheese, Italian pork sausage, friarelli Napoletani and chilli.

Hearty Italian-inspired mains, gourmet pizza and pasta have Altona foodies returning time and again to Mascalzone on Pier Street. On balmy Melbourne days, take to the alfresco area and chill out under market umbrellas, or head indoors where a mosaic-tiled bar, a Fiat wall mural and cosy table settings await those with ravenous appetites. Say grazie to starters of peppered mussels in chilli and garlic tomato sauce with chorizo and housemade bread; before pasta temptations like linguine with seared scallops, pancetta, garlic, parsley, basil and grana Padano, or pappardelle with lamb ragu and tomato concasse. Pizza lovers are in heaven over slices such as San Marzano tomato, smoked salmon, capers, red onion, rocket, avocado and fior di latte; finishing with panna cotta and raspberry.
