Meet Sara Sidari

Being an owner, artist, and influencer in Melbourne isn’t always easy, but leading with heart has shaped everything I do. I started Panza Piena to blend my love for design, culture, and food—and it’s grown into one of Melbourne’s most loved Italian catering brands.

Growing up in a warm Italian household, food was how we connected. That same spirit is at the heart of Panza Piena: authentic flavours, beautifully styled experiences, and moments that leave a lasting impression. Every bite tells a story, and I’m grateful to share mine with you.
