lamanna supermarket, essendon fields

OK, Mamma isn't going to beat around the bushel here. This is the best supermarket we have ever been to. Actually, this is WAY MORE than just a supermarket. This is a food Mecca.

The sheer size of LaManna doesn't mean it's not a local business either - it is family owned with a passion for good quality food which shows in every aisle and in the smiles of the staff and customers.

1953, Founder, Pasquale (Pat) LaManna, opened his first fruit shop in West Preston and from those humble starting point grew the vision of what LaManna has now become Australia’s largest 100% Australian grown fruit & vegetable market incorporating meat, deli, seafood, bakery, tiramisu bar, groceries, cafe, pre made salads and meals AND a patisserie! 

It’s scroll season too at LaManna folks. This Mamma (i.e. the official scroll connoisseur) loves to taste test ALL of the new flavours - and wow, she is seriously impressed! Choose from your classic cinnamon, Biscoff, or Mamma’s surprising favourite, Pistachio Papi - or see what other specials they have on the day! Treat yo-self Mamma, these scrolls are worth it!

You could spend the whole day here just browsing, eating, browsing some more and stop to eat again.
