Although our story publicly began in 2014 with a humble pop-up in a North Melbourne laneway - it was born long before that. Surrounded by fresh produce, shared meals around the family table, and the comforting rhythm of generations crafting deliciousness with both hands and hearts, the essence of Saluministi quietly took root early on.

Those early years shaped us and still define the Saluministi of today, which has grown into a family-run paninoteca rooted in authenticity, relationships, and uncompromising quality.

Though our reach now spans multiple paninoteca's across Melbourne plus a busy catering service delivering reliable and fresh authentic food to corporate Melbourne, at our heart we remain the same.

“We are more than a panino bar;  We are the flavours of our childhood; We are the product of generations past;  We are old school at heart”
