New Farm Deli is Brisbane's oldest and most authentic Italian deli.
Established in 1975 as New Farm Continental Delicatessen, situated at 81 Merthyr Road New Farm. It was mostly popular with the Italian community at large, offering cured meats, cheese, olives, home-baked bread and hard-to-get-but-necessary European ingredients essential for preparing authentic dishes at home. The business was at first owned by the Picerno family and when daughter (Maria) married Vince Anello in 1982, he began working there on his days off. At first working there on week-ends afternoons and then eventually left his job to work in the family business full time.
