Year 10 Italian tour of Melbourne

On Thursday the 2nd of August, the Year 10 Italian class toured the Melbourne CBD exploring spice shops, cafes and delicatessens that showcase “food as art” in the Italian tradition. Entering Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar felt like going back in time, and the students were impressed by Grossi Florentinotraditional Italian fine dining since 1871.

“The Italian excursion was a great learning experience. It was interesting to see all the diverse cultures that are present in Melbourne and how they all interact perfectly in one little community. The bus trip was fun and entertaining, and although there was a lot of walking involved, I thoroughly enjoyed my day. It was great tasting all the various foods from the different cultures. My favourite was the samosa, I ended up eating two. Although the seeds afterwards left a weird aftertaste.”Maddy

“I learnt that you should never enter a restaurant if they attempt to advertise the store by paying a waitress to hold the store's menu.”Chelsea

“I learnt that all signs that go to a town or city (i.e. '10km to Melbourne') go to the general post office.”Caine
