Capri on Via Roma
Industrial chic dazzles at Capri on Via Roma, the newest food market on the glitter strip.
Main entrance
Impressed locals are calling it 'The New Ferry Rd', and Capri on via Roma is intent on challenging its more established rival for a slice of the high-end foodie market.
The exterior façade is subtle and unassuming, with no hint of the treasure trove within.
Capri on Via Roma
Reminiscent of Dr Who's Tardis, Capri on via Roma appears much bigger on the inside, and feels more like a food and wine exhibition space than a shopping centre. The architects have made the most of the high vaulted ceilings and wide open spaces, creating a cool and sheltered retreat from the summer heat.
So much bigger on the inside
Backing onto a canal, the property sports an expansive wooden deck which provides ramp access to and from the boat moorings below.

The markets offer a fine selection of exclusive and elaborate foodie treats from the first of many small specialty providores, and a choice of casual dining experiences to suit most tastes.
A fun place to shop
Additional services in adjoining buildings include a post office, pharmacy, solicitor, dentist, hairdresser, barber, nail salon, interior décor, travel agent, and a 24/7 fitness centre.
Lots of new shops
The GFC may have delayed construction, but BDA Architecture, Steve McCracken and Landini Associates have delivered a world-class property. With free underground parking, it is highly accessible.

Capri on via Roma is fast becoming the new destination where movers and shakers will be seen doing deals over an espresso. Ciao.

Manolas Bros is first and foremost a continental delicatessen, with a mouth-watering and mind-boggling display of exotic cheeses, cold meats, and all the other makings for a take-home antipasti platter. However, their outdoor tables are packed with patrons chatting over coffee or brunch. The brekkie menu operates 7-11.30am.
