Italian Christmas flavours await

A taste of Italy this Christmas at Mamma Maria’s deli and cafe.

There’s something special about Christmas in Italy — the warmth, the laughter, and of course, the food. This festive season, Mamma Maria’s is bringing that Italian magic to Pakenham, with comforting dishes, festive treats, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels just like home.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, baked focaccia, and the sounds of Italian holiday cheer. Our Christmas menu is a celebration of tradition, featuring hearty lasagne al forno, tender porchetta, and colorful antipasto platters filled with cured meats, cheeses, and marinated vegetables — all prepared with authentic Italian ingredients and a touch of love.

No celebration is complete without something sweet, and our kitchen is full of festive indulgence. Enjoy a slice of panettone or pandoro, served with mascarpone cream, or try our famous homemade biscotti with a rich Italian espresso.

Looking for a thoughtful gift? Our Christmas deli hampers are beautifully wrapped and filled with handpicked Italian delicacies — perfect for food lovers and anyone who appreciates a little dolce vita under the tree.

Whether you’re meeting friends, escaping the winter chill, or simply treating yourself, Mamma Maria’s is the place to relax and savour the season.

From our family to yours — Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo!
