About Delisia Panino & Espresso Sydney

Generous Roman-style paninis and crisp focaccia turn this sunlit Forest Lodge corner into an essential lunch stop. Sandwiches arrive stacked high with prosciutto, stracciatella, and honey—or house pesto and mortadella—alongside a rare gluten-free focaccia option. Diners drop in for a quick bite outside, pairing toasted creations like the Reuben or Francesca with a chilled, velvety crema di caffè.

  • Sweet and Savory Fillings: Cured meats meet stracciatella, fresh fruit, honey, and peppery greens on house-baked focaccia.
  • Gluten-Free Focaccia: Guests with dietary needs can opt for a dedicated gluten-free focaccia base.
  • Traditional Crema di Caffè: Chilled Italian coffee cream offers an authentic, traditional alternative to standard espresso.
