Formaggi Ocello

Surry Hills & Darlinghurst


Love a cheesy grin? Then Formaggi Ocello is for you. This excellent Italian deli has a great range of cheeses, mostly Italian, Spanish and French, with some top Aussie selections, too. Check out the humongous cheese wheels in the ageing room. It's also a great place for a panino or tasting platter, accompanied by a glass of wine or two.
