The New York Deli Lunch at Osteria 20

If you've ever dreamt of indulging in a classic New York deli experience without booking a flight, Hawthorn's Osteria 20 has got you covered. Honouring the iconic Carnegie Deli of New York, their new New York Deli Experience brings the bold flavours and heartwarming comfort of deli-style eats right to Melbourne.

At just $16, you can dive into a meaty Crispy Porchetta Roll paired with an all-American soda or beer. This Italian-inspired twist brings tender porchetta, dressed in Italian slaw, into the sub spotlight. Or, if you're craving something more traditional, the Pastrami on Rye is a deli lover's dream. With house-smoked beef pastrami, Brooklyn pickles, and mustard on rye bread, it’s a sandwich that channels the essence of New York City in every bite.

Osteria 20’s New York Deli Experience doesn’t stop at subs. You’ll also find Italian favourites like the Funghi Pizza—a mushroom lover’s delight on a bianco base, topped with roasted mushrooms, mozzarella, garlic oil, and thyme, finished with an irresistible truffle oil drizzle. Meanwhile, pasta enthusiasts will appreciate the simple perfection of the Gnocchi Pomodora. It’s a plate of soft, pillowy gnocchi dressed in a rich Napoli sauce, with torn mozzarella and fresh basil to tie it all together.

Whatever you do, don’t leave without sampling the dessert selection. Whether it’s the creamy decadence of a classic New York Cheesecake, the nostalgic sweetness of Hot Jam Donuts, or the comforting embrace of an Applejack Pie, Osteria 20’s dessert offerings are the perfect way to round off your deli-inspired lunch.
