Stunning Lavazza Superbox at the Australian Open Tennis

The World Loves Melbounre was privileged to experience the Lavazza Superbox at the Australian Open. Last year we said this was the best corporate box experiences ever, and this year was amazing. The location in the Rod Laver Arena combined with peerless hospitality, was sensational. To have the Lavazza family present in the Superbox was an honour. Having enjoyed Lavazza coffee consistently over many years, we can identify strongly with the brand.

The Lavazza wonderful chef ambassadors, Buddha Lo, Giovanni Pilu and Jake Nicolson created stunning coffee dishes for Australian Open guests in the Lavazza Superbox. We'd met each of these chefs before and fully appreciate their masterful skills. These are some of the top chefs in the nation. Make no mistake - this is not just the usual corporate box food - this is next level Superbox hospitality. It's as if these great chefs are bringing their restaurants into the Superbox. But even more than that - they were able to create dishes that celebrate the Lavazza product. Images: Lavazza Australia Facebook.

Chef Ambassador Giovanni Pilu from Pilu at Freshwater is an absolute legend - and apart from being a top chef is engaging in the Superbox. As is Jake Nicolson from Blackbird Bar & Restaurant Brisbane, who we've met at a previous Lavazza event. Buddha Lo is also affable and has taken the reins over at Matteo's.
