This place is amazing, I've only been once and I was heavily pregnant, I accidentally cut my finger and the staff were so lovely to me and helped patch me up. Great range of foods from all over! I'd love to go back but the isles are quite small and I'm not sure navigating a pram through would be easy. Will definitely be back when I have a baby free moment!!

What a great little find. Pennisi's is like a deli cross warehouse cross importer all in a little unassuming building. Entering it is like walking into an Aladdin's cave of goodies - fresh olives, fridges full of cheese and fantastic dry goods!

I love coming here for a browse. Service is pretty non existent but that doesn't bother me as I love walking up and down the aisles to look at everything. Quality is generally pretty good, but it does pay to examine to goods carefully as some appear to have been sitting on the shelves for some time.

Value is fantastic - there are hard to find items here and prices you just don't see anymore. Some are way below what I would expect and some are on par with other stores. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great European food, especially those that are hard to find like Salt Cod, White Anchovies and good quality cured meats. The staff are friendly and helpful and it is also close to a great bakery -Banneton.

These guys have such a wide range of predominately European foods. I particularly love their cheese fridge, but you can always find some new delicacies to try and stock up on the ones that you can't find in supermarkets

Pennisi Cuisine has been at this location for so many years, and their loyal following is unprecedented.

I have been buying goods from them for about 12 years now, and their range of products leaves big commercial deli's for dead!

Unlike a supermarket, you will always get a surprise as to "what is new today"? Their small goods come from all over, but the items they bring up from Rodriguez Brothers in Sydney are as good as you can get anywhere in the world.

Their prices do not gouge, and are a fair reflection of what it costs to bring in goods from around Australia and the world.

Great place to visit for the budding chefs (no - not master chefs or MKR's wanna be's).

Don't visit on Saturday morning - that is when everyone else goes too! Go during the week, and pop up the road and enjoy a pastry and coffee at Banneton!

Approximate cost: $2 - $300

Nice to be able to get unusual products from around the world, but the pricing is a little expensive. The products are not always fresh, but the variety is pretty good.

Approximate cost: $100

The very best range of Greek, Italian, Spanish ingredients, amazing cheeses (you can buy a whole wheel of Brie for the cost of a couple of stingy supermarket ones and the best parmesan you will find anywhere). Gets fresh bread each morning, there's every type of pasta you could imagine and a whole shelf of hot sauce for those who love their mexican. Great prices and a great experience - set aside an hour to browse.
