Interview with Stef Condello
owner of Stefanino Panino
The wildly popular Stefanino Panino has recently moved from Brunswick East to Collingwood Yards. Owner and operator Stef Condello says the idea to open the shop came from doing a small stint at his girlfriendโs familyโs Butchers on Lygon Street. Although a qualified teacher, he loved the butcher shop experience and decided to transition out of teaching and start his own business. The opportunity came when got access to a small shop front outside of the warehouse that he rehearsed in with his band. He took that on with his newly formed skills and opened Stefanino Panino which has only grown in scale since then.ย
