Happy 20th Birthday to us!

On Grand Final Day 2003 we flung open our Ladro Fitzroy doors for the very first time, right here on Gertrude Street. Yep, we’re 20 years young!
To celebrate, we’re serving birthday Prosecco all Grand Final day on us – join is from 12noon, we’d love to see you.

With dejavu feels, Collingwood & Brisbane Lions actually played in the 2003 GF too. Twenty years ago the Lions put on a dominant second quarter with five strong goals to Collingwood’s one, stealing the premiership cup. Fast forward to 2023, and we’re still spinning pizza PIES and tapping into to our original FITZOY roots to support the Lions.

SALUTE!

Monday – 5:30-late

Tuesday – Closed

Wednesday – 5:30-late

Thursday – 5:30-late

Ladro SUPERMARKET – NOW OPEN

Ladro Supermarket

NOW OPEN

Our online supermarket is NOW OPEN. Budget friendly, family friendly and Covid-19 lock-down friendly with hand made fresh pasta from $3 per person. Yep, we are selling all supermarket goods at wholesale food prices.
Right now, today, we need all of your support and help to keep trading in these crazy times. Small restaurants like Ladro are working harder than ever to pivot into a takeaway only venue. Ordering food from us instead of the big supermarkets keeps the staff we have left and our families afloat.
Our DRIVE-UP system is the safest, most hygienic way to get food to you. There is no third party delivery app driver. Just our high standard of sanitary practice meeting yours.
We’re starting with some Ladro basics like:

  • fresh pastas
  • lasagne
  • pasta sauces
  • comfort foods
  • wine & beer & drinks
  • toilet paper (very soon)
  • santiser (very soon)

ORDER FITZROY  or  ORDER PRAHRAN
STAY TUNED
STAY SAFE

OPENING HOURS UPDATE…

As we recover in the wake of Covid, our opening hours are subject to change. Ideally we would have consistent opening hours every week like we did in 2019, but it’s just not possible currently.

On the bright side we’re doing everything we can to get back to a new kind of normal and we’re soooo excited to be open!

We know how frustrating this is for you, trust us…so thanks for your patience and we really appreciate your support. Head to our Ladro Instagram for the most up-to-date info and hours (and any last minute changes).

You can always call the old school landline too…
