Menu - Formaggi Ocello, Surry Hills

At Formaggi Ocello we are all about cheese and our menu reflects this. Our cheese plates are made to order and consist of carefully selected cheeses that are in season and at their ripest.

Our knowledgeable staff will advise you what cheeses have been selected and discuss their characteristics and background with you.

Our menu reflects our Italian heritage and our plates are designed to be shared. We have delicious antipasto plates, as well as salumi and vegetarian plates. Should you have the time, allow our friendly staff to customize a plate for you selecting from cheeses and foods of your choice. We understand the selection can be overwhelming so after enjoying what you can, we pack away any remaining food for you to enjoy at home.
