Fresh breads and bakery goods can also be bought, along with hot coffee and delicious food to satisfy adults and children alike.
Bringing the ‘holistic’ event to Australia has been a work-in-process and will span across two storeys over 3000sqm.
The bottom floor extends over 1300sqm and the first floor is 2000sqm, making it the perfect location to host the Australian-first market.
Hospitality expert Eddie Muto told Broadsheet it took him ‘four years to secure the licence to operate Mercato Centrale’. He also described the event as a ‘holistic Italian experience’
