About Us
A rustic café restaurant and bar serving up a small piece of Italy in St Kilda. Tucked away on Blessington Street and a short stroll from the St Kilda Botanic Gardens, Sorsi e Morsi has become a local favourite in the area. We first opened our doors in 2013 with the goal of bringing Italian café culture to Melbourne’s inner south. With a reputation for great coffee and great authentic pasta and gnocchi, we welcome you to make a booking to experience the food and hospitality yourself.
At Sorsi e Morsi our menu comprises authentic, homemade Italian dishes just like the ones Nonna made when we were growing up. From home made pasta sauces to fresh pasta and gnocchi, we aim to deliver to you a delicious slice of home style Italian cooking. Our antipasti options are perfect for shared starters or small bites while sipping on a Aperol spritz or glass of Italian red. All our menu options are also available for takeaway for those nights where you need Nonna to take care of you.
“I'm sitting in one of the many nooks at Sorsi e Morsi ("sips and bites") enjoying my coffee. It's mid-morning and the place is all happy hubbub, a hospitality symphony.”

“Step inside Sorsi e Morsi and, despite the close proximity to St Kilda Botanic Gardens, you can be forgiven for feeling like you're on the other side of the world.”
