Italian Soul Food Since 1999
Zambri’s started in a tiny location on Yates Street in October of 1999. In the early days, it was a simple operation: Peter was the Chef, Jo took care of the front of house, and Calen was in charge of business development.
Twenty-six and some years later, we have fed Victoria honest and authentic Italian food, earned accolades, and found a new home in the gorgeous Atrium building. During this time, we have grown in more ways than one.
Julia McInnis rose through the ranks to become our Executive Chef, bringing passion, precision, and a deep respect for the Zambri’s way to every plate. After years of dedication, leadership, and well-deserved recognition for her hard work alongside Peter, Julia is now also a shareholder in Zambri’s. Her partnership marks an exciting new chapter in our story, one rooted in continuity, excellence, and a shared commitment to our community.
Together, we continue to shape the future of Zambri’s, honouring our traditions while evolving thoughtfully with the times. Our focus remains what it has always been: warm hospitality, exceptional ingredients, and honest Italian food made with care.
We are proud of where we started, grateful for how far we’ve come, and excited for what lies ahead.
