About Ferrovia Cafe

Perched right by Pascoe Vale station, this Southern Italian espresso stop delivers genuine warmth, easy neighbourhood banter, and a rotating daily counter of homestyle bakes. Regulars skip the guesswork and ask the counter to curate a spread for the table—from hot slices of vegetable-packed frittata and rich sausage casserole to oven-warm morning apple cake.

  • Daily In-House Bakes: Morning counter cases feature scratch-made custard tarts, Italian fritters, and tender apple cake baked fresh every day.
  • Tailored Southern Italian Feasts: Danny and Riccardo happily build family-style spreads for the table or prepare custom takeaway trays of baked pasta and lasagna.
  • Station-Side Pit Stop: Steps from the train platform, pulling rich espresso drinks alongside breakfast fare for morning commuters.

The Ferrovia Cafe Experience

Why Pascoe Vale locals choose Ferrovia Cafe for morning coffee, family dining, and custom Italian catering.

  • Fresh In-House Italian Specialties

    Daily rotating Italian hot dishes, morning pastries, and home-style classics are prepared right on site rather than relying on standard commercial distributors.

    The food is sensational and authentic Italian, and I can say that because I got to Italy every year. The coffee is some of the best I’ve had in Melbourne and the pastries are made fresh in house, i always looked forward to see what new fresh pastries the team had baked every morning.

  • Bespoke Take-Home Catering Trays

    Guests can source custom whole cakes and party-sized trays of baked pasta and lasagna tailored to their family's dietary needs.

    Asked for a tray of baked pasta and lasagna for a lunch. Baked pasta full of seasonal veggies and very yummy. Asked for lasagna without boiled egg for the kids. They scoffed it and wanted more.

  • Curated Family-Style Feasting

    Patrons can let the team curate a balanced, varied table spread of seasonal dishes without navigating rigid menu rules.

    we normally ask them to pick any dishes enough for the table and they always do it perfectly with good variety and portion! Everything is always so homey and delicious, and they always have different dishes each visit which I love!

Before you head over

Practical guidance for ordering, group catering, and enjoying daily Italian house bakes.

  • Order Catering Trays in Advance

    When catering group meals at home, check in with the team a few days in advance to discuss seasonal availability and customize dishes such as baked pasta or lasagna.

  • Let the Staff Curate Your Table

    Rather than debating what to order, ask the team to select dishes for your table to sample a variety of daily Southern Italian rotating items.

  • Arrive Early for Morning Bakes

    Popular daily baked Italian pastries, sweet apple cakes, and savory specials rotate every morning and sell quickly during breakfast, so arrive early for the best counter selection.
