Wowsers, what a year!
At least Ladro & Ladro TAP will be open everyday except the main public holidays, right through the holiday season. To be be frank, without all your support, we’re not certain we’d have made it to Christmas this year – so thank you. Thank you for supporting us through takeaway only, buying goods from our Ladro Supermarket & Bottleshop, and most of all for dining with us the last six weeks. We’re so glad to be back doing what we love and can’t wait til 2021 ticks over.
Have a safe, feast filled and laughter riddled holiday with all your favourite people – but if COVID restrictions are keeping you apart, just know we’ll be thinking of you.
Buon Natale.
Merry Christmas.
Lots of love,
Ladro XO

Ladro Covid-19 & Takeaway
Our workplace & the way we do business has changed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and this is what we are doing:
HEALTH & SAFETY FIRST
1. We’re staying healthy, and only our healthy staff will be working so we can continue to keep you safe and well nourished from a trusted source.
2. We are sanitising everything, (even the kitchen sink) with certified Covid-19 killing sanitiser; a bio-sufactant that is antiviral, kills 99.9% of germs, with 4 hour protection and it’s enviro-friendly.
3. Sanitiser is located everywhere at Ladro for you & all staff to use.
4. We’re offering DRIVE-UP, WALK-UP & LADRO DELIVERY on Friday, Saturday & Sunday by Ladro staff, with DELIVEROO through the week & soon Uber. Order direct with Ladro and revenue stays in Ladro’s hands instead of multinational giants.
5. We’re here to serve you, listen & help. If you need help, or just a chat we’re here! Please email, call or visit us, albeit socially distanced.
Email events@ladro.com.au
TAKE AWAY & LADRO SUPERMARKET
1. You can now order all your takeaway & Ladro Supermarket goodies directly online at Ladro thanks to our friends at Hungry Hungry .
2. Visit our new Ladro Supermarket selling food for you to prepare at home. Available as single items or bulk orders for freezer & fridge storage so you can enjoy some comfort (food) during Covid-19. Prices start at $5, because we know how hard it is to operate on a shoestring. We’re doing it too.
Fresh pastas, sauces, toilet paper cocktails, wine & beer…new items are being added every week so we can try to keep as many of our staff employed as possible.
Order Fitzroy
Order Prahran
DRIVE-UP
We NOW have designated DRIVE-UP points in Fitzroy & Prahran for all orders as an option.
Order online, fill in your number plate, DRIVE-UP in safety and we’ll run the order out to your car (after sanitising of course). NO delivery driver contamination, just our highest sanitary standards meeting yours. We think this is the safest way to get food to you!
We’ll keep you updated as our Ladro Supermarket evolves and things change which seems to be almost daily!
For large orders or if you need help, let us know, we may be able to drive to your door.
THANK YOU for all your support, every single order is really appreciated.
XO Ladro
MOTHER’S DAY – FOOD BOX
We miss our mums. We’re sure you do too.
Nothing is more comforting than a warm, reassuring mum hug when life challenges us most, and Covid lockdown sure is testing that theory. This weekend most of us have to settle for a warm hug of mama style cooking instead. Thanks for you votes too – the two most popular options are in the boxes.
Ladro has two food box options with 3 x courses for you to reheat at home – brunch, lunch or dinner, for two, four or more. Add to the boxes with Prosecco, Wine, Negroni or fresh items from our LADRO SUPERMARKET.
Every Italian knows: Chi mangia sulo s’affoga – ‘He who eats alone suffocates’… But Covid lockdown wasn’t a consideration until seven weeks ago, so this Mother’s Day we encourage you to share a meal with your mum together, apart. Buon apettito XO

LADRO ANZAC FOOD PACK
It will be a very different ANZAC DAY this year.
In a way we are fighting our own real-time war, on Covid-19. And more than ever we need to set some time aside and remember all those before us who battled for the liberties we have taken for granted…for so long, maybe until now.
Ladro has created an ANZAC FOOD PACK so you can break some bread, share a meal and reflect on love, life and lost souls.
We have 2 options (lamb or vegetarian) and each pack feeds 2 people x 3 courses.
Packs can be made up for 4, 6, 8, 10+, simply let us know when you place your order.

#worldstoughestjob MOTHERS DAY
We challenge you to watch #worldstoughestjob and not feel compelled to give their mama a giant hug! Treat her this Mothers Day… and everyday after!
Ask your mama what she wants to do this Mothers Day…Here’s what our mama’s want more than anything in the world:
Q: What would you like to do this Mothers Day?
– “a home made card with words to treasure”
– “pizza of course”
– “a hand made mug and a pair of wooly socks”
– “SLEEP”
– “lunch with the family”
We asked our mama’s what their favourite dishes are. Not surprisingly they said: pizza, roast, bubbles and chocolate came up A LOT!
So these are the extra special mama loving dishes we are serving alongside our usual menu this Mothers Day. Be sure to make a booking and your mama can enjoy feasting on our mum’s favourite dishes too.
