ICONIC WINE BAR and PIZZERIA IN PRIME LOCATION

About the Business

OMBRA MELBOURNE - ICONIC CBD WINE BAR & PIZZERIA OPPORTUNITY

A rare opportunity is now available to acquire Ombra, an established and highly regarded Italian Wine Bar & Pizzeria currently forming part of the renowned Florentino group of restaurants, in one of Melbourne CBD's most recognised hospitality locations.

Positioned directly next door to Cafe Florentino and sharing the vibrant outdoor alfresco atmosphere along bustling Bourke Street, Ombra enjoys a location that would be almost impossible to replicate.

Established in 2012, this casual Italian Wine Bar & Pizzeria has become a familiar part of Melbourne's dining landscape, offering authentic Italian food, quality wines, pizza and relaxed aperitivo-style hospitality from an impressive two-level venue.

Currently trading only three days per week under management, the opportunity for an experienced owner-operator or hospitality group is significant. There is immediate scope to increase revenue through additional trading days, lunches, dinners, aperitivo trade, corporate functions, private events, catering and targeted marketing to CBD workers, theatre patrons, tourists and hotel guests.

The venue is beautifully presented and fully equipped, featuring a quality Italian-inspired fit-out, commercial kitchen, twin-deck Moretti pizza oven, strong street presence and access to the highly popular outdoor alfresco dining area adjoining the Florentino precinct.

A valuable 1am General Liquor Licence provides flexibility for food, wine, cocktails, aperitivo and late-night trade, while the existing layout accommodates both casual dining and functions.

Importantly, the business also enjoys an extremely attractive CBD rental and secure lease structure, making this an opportunity that stacks up from both an operational and long-term occupancy perspective.
