Get Fried Pasta and $14 Pizza Sandwiches at a Bargain Italian Street Food Joint
Good Food visits Centre Road and finds a casual Roman street-food kitchen on one of Bentleigh's busiest strips. The write-up focuses on value and on range: nothing on the menu passes $25, and pizza appears in three different forms across the day. Fried pasta and the filled pizza sandwich are singled out as the dishes to order first.

PRONTO 478 Bentleigh
Concrete Playground introduces Pronto 478 as the newest venture from the team behind Shop225 and Il Caminetto, and places the sorriso at the centre of the offering, a Roman street-food classic described as sitting somewhere between a panino and a pizza. The listing runs through the rest of the daytime menu, from pizza al taglio by the slice to arancini, calamari, fried pasta bites, caprese and eggplant parmigiana, before turning to the thin, crisp Roman pizza served in the evening.

Da SHOP225 a PRONTO478: Il Nuovo Format di Street Food Romano Che Rivoluziona Melbourne
The Italian food magazine covers the opening for readers back home, tracing the line from Shop225 to Pronto 478 and framing the new kitchen as a faster, more accessible expression of the same standards. The piece gives particular attention to the sorriso, still largely unknown in Australia, and to the crisp Roman-style pizza served at night, before turning to the Food for Everyone philosophy that shapes how the kitchen is organised.

ABOUT PRONTO 478
Italian Street Food,
Made Fresh
Pronto 478 serves real Italian street food in the heart of Bentleigh. Roman-style pizza, hand-rolled pasta and golden Sicilian bites, ready for pickup or delivered to your door. We are the newest venue from the family behind Shop225 in Pascoe Vale South and Il Caminetto in Moonee Ponds, and while those restaurants are built around unhurried dining, Pronto applies the same standards to a faster format.
That speed is the result of preparation rather than a shortcut around it. Our kitchen begins its work hours before the first order arrives, proving dough, simmering sauces and shaping each component by hand, so that a meal can reach you within minutes and still carry the depth of something far slower. The belief underneath it is simple: respect the ingredients, respect the craft, and respect the people at the table. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-friendly and dairy-free options are part of how we cook, not an afterthought.
