Caffé e Torta Menu

From morning coffee and breakfast to toasted panini, pasta, salads and something sweet in the afternoon, our menu is inspired by the relaxed café culture of Italy and Europe.

Join us in Melbourne's historic Royal Arcade for eggs and breakfast served all day, Italian-style toasted panini, fresh salads, Nonna's tagliatelle al ragù, pastries, cakes and desserts.

Coffee is at the heart of Caffé e Torta, from a traditional espresso, macchiato or long black to flat whites, cappuccinos, lattes, iced coffee and affogato.

Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, meeting for lunch or taking a break over coffee and tiramisu, take a seat and enjoy a little European café tradition in the heart of Melbourne CBD.
