Cibo Deli Mt Martha began when sisters Bianca and Tanya took over an empty shop opposite the beach on Lochiel Avenue and built it into an upmarket Italian-style deli and grocer, drawing on their own love of good Friday-night cooking at the family beach house. The shelves are stocked with imported Italian goods alongside local producers, including small goods from Peter Bouchier and Uncle's Smallgoods, pasta sauces from Marisa's Kitchen, and pizza bases flown in from Naples ready for home toppings. Red Hill Bakery delivers artisan sourdough fresh each morning, and a dedicated gluten-free and vegan section covers smoothie bowl ingredients and other dietary needs. Chef-quality ready meals, such as pumpkin gnocchi and lasagne, sit alongside Italian ice-cream and cannoli for anyone after dessert without the cooking. It functions as both a casual coffee and panini stop and a proper grocery destination for stocking a Mount Martha kitchen, trading seven days a week from morning into early evening. The deli's own mission, to source the kind of epicurean treats the owners themselves would want to shop for, comes through clearly in the range on the shelves. Sitting directly across from the beach on Lochiel Avenue, it's an effortless stop before or after a walk along the foreshore.
