Our Story

Fresh produce, authentic flavors, and the best of Italian culture and hospitality are at the heart of all that we do here at 48h.

We serve locations around Elsternwick, including Elwood, Ripponlea, Garden Vale, Brighton, East Hampton, Ormond, Malvern East, Carnegie, St Kilda East, Caulfield South and North.
