Adamstown is now home to the cult-favourite panini from Arno Deli
It was during a six-month journey through Europe that the idea for Arno Deli was first born. Inspired to recreate the beautifully crafted, flavour-packed sandwiches he experienced abroad, Will O'Brien opened the doors to his hole-in-the-wall Italian-style deli in 2022, quickly establishing it as one of Newcastle’s must-visit foodie spots.
It's hard to walk past Arno Deli on King Street without seeing flocks of people working through the rotating selection of panini, caffeinating on Little Marionette espresso, or enjoying afternoon sips over their awarded wine list.
For the last 18 months, Will and team have been on the search for a second brick and mortar. After plenty of patience and a few ugly ducklings, the team finally landed on the perfect spot.

Located on Brunker Road and nestled right next to plenty of parking, the new location means your next panino pick up has just got a whole lot easier.
The Adamstown spot rocks the same iconic Arno Deli red, making the new corner site pretty hard to miss.
Designed specially for your quick and easy takeaway needs, you'll find a convenient grab and go coffee window, as well as their handy online ordering system that’s worked wonders at King Street.
The menu is still featuring the classics we know and love, as well as their ever-rotating list of specials.
"We've doubled our capacity here with much more cooking equipment, it gives us a lot more freedom to try different things and put on more specials" says Will.
Walking in you can see their huge team of chefs working away in the expansive kitchen, still delivering the fantastic quality sandos we know and love.
While there's no weekend afternoon wine and aperitivos to be found here, we're expecting to see a few more evening delights over at King Street. Will hints at bringing the late afternoon treats to the weekdays, so the team and community alike can enjoy an Italian knock off treat.
Will also teased having a few other surprises up his sleeves.
"We've got some new equipment here that’s definitely going to be useful".
The team of wildly experienced chefs, front of house staff, and baristas are ready to bring all the King Street panini magic to Adamstown, just with a little more room to play.
