About Us

As you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the unmistakable Italian charm, reminiscent of the great Italian design legend, Gio Ponti. You can witness the timeless 1956 Lilliput 55 coffee machine and the Berkel 33 meat slicer in action, lovingly restored to their former glory.

Our mission at Panineria is straightforward – to serve you an Italian experience like no other. We put heart and soul into crafting each panini, ensuring they’re made just the way you like it, with the freshest and finest ingredients. To us, a great meal is more than just food; it’s a journey that indulges your senses and transports you to Italy.

We invite you to join us at Panineria and indulge in the taste of Italy, one panini at a time. Experience the warmth of Italian hospitality, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the genuine flavors that Frankie cherished. We can’t wait to welcome you to our cozy Italian corner right here in Ashburton. Buon appetito!
