Nine Years at The Italian Forum.
How did that happen?
Thank you all who help me to stay open.
Love and Gratitude,

As a home cook, I truly relate to this it’s all about the love of cooking, sharing, and doing what I can to make a living.

We are still here, Leichhardt ❤️

Hidden inside this iconic building for almost 9 years, and many locals still don’t know we exist — even though we’re just a short stroll from Norton Street.
Our food is cooked home-style, our treats are just like mum used to make, and we’re adding a little Latin dose of energy to The Italian Forum.
From our popular empanadas and alfajores to quiches and muffins often made in flavours requested by our regular customers there’s always something special.
And did I mention our coffee? ☕️
Next time you’re in the area, come and say hi 😁

It is time to make some moderate changes. As I approach 9 years of running this small shop, I am spending more and more hours here, between 12 and 15 hours Monday to Friday, leaving very little time for me, my family and friends. I am working out how to do it and still have the time to produce all the goodies that everyone loves. But it is essential to stick to the new time.
I love what I do. I‘m finding a way to run this lovely place, not the other way around.
Always grateful for your support and understanding.
Much Love, Adri xx

Hey everyone! 🌟 Starting this Saturday, August 9th, the Italian Forum will be hosting night markets! I won’t be open for this event, but I’m really excited to come as a guest and enjoy all the fun. Who knows, maybe in the future I’ll get involved if I can find the time and energy! 😊 Let’s support this initiative and help get The Italian Forum on the map! # smallbusiness
