Originally opened in 2012 in New South Wales as food emporium for fine Italian meats and cheeses, in just a few short years the SMC team has built a mini culinary empire stretching across the country, including a Gold Coast location in Surfers Paradise. The menu boasts a wide selection of pretty much everything you'd find walking into an Italian delicatessen, as well as fresh pastas, salads and of course their famous wood-fired pizzas. If you like what you eat (and pretty much everyone seems to), you can sign for one of their frequent cooking classes to learn how to make it yourself.
