About

Ari's Italian Deli is a polarizing but highly authentic spot. Fans swear by the quality of the meats, cheeses, and homemade pasta, often describing it as the closest thing to Italy in Noosa. On the flip side, there are strong reports of a very strict, sometimes abrasive owner who doesn't tolerate 'Australian-style' requests. If you respect the tradition, you'll likely have a great time; if you want modifications, you might be in for a shock.
