The iconic New Farm Deli at Merthyr Village has been trading for 50 years, making it Brisbane’s oldest Italian cafe.
Owners Maria and Vince Anello and their children have run the deli continuously for almost all of that time, with the ongoing support of countless staff and the loyalty of customers old and new.
Maria will join us in conversation at our September meeting to discuss how the family business started and how it has grown and changed
over the years.
2:30 PM | Uniting Church Centre, 52 Merthyr Road, New Farm
Entry Fee (cash preferred) | $5.00 members | $10.00 non-members | includes afternoon tea.
All Welcome!


Hi Vince
You may remember talking to me, Joe Mentasti from Adelaide, we have been a few times to your New Farm Deli, I was taking some photos to send to my son.
I wanted to say congratulations and well done for your 50 years.
We will be back up in Brisbane in January or February 2027
We will see you then
Well done
Joe
