Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page is about Italian food near Abbotsford: pasta, a deli, a sandwich shop and a pizza-and-pasta dinner. None of the five places is inside Abbotsford itself; two are in Fitzroy, one is in Richmond and two are in Collingwood.
Each place was checked against at least two independent sources: OpenStreetMap, the Australian Good Food Guide and its own website. Where a venue states what it does, we quote it and say whose words they are. Where a site looks undated, we say to check it is current.
Pizza-only places live on the pizza page, so the pizza here is Ladro’s, seen as part of a dinner. Prices are printed exactly as the menu shows them, and the places without a published price show none.
