# Italian Fare Beach Kiosks The 'Kiosk d’Asporto' Offers Beachgoers the Best of Italy in Australia By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-12-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-kiosk References: [broadsheet.au](https://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/food-and-drink/directory/kiosk-dasporto) & [facebook](http://facebook.com/thekioskdasporto/) A beach kiosk might not seem like the first place you'd think to head when you want to obtain a delicious Italian dessert or snack, but the 'Kiosk d’Asporto' is making waves by the beach in Williamstown, Australia for offering authentic eats in a scaled-down environment. The 'Kiosk d’Asporto' -- which translates to "takeaway" from Italian -- is the brainchild of Claudio Acquaro and Mark Smundin who own 'Pizza d’Asporto,' which is also in Williamstown. The duo wanted to bring the best of Italian fare to beachgoers in a way that was laid-back, relaxed and, above all, delicious. Everything from the gelato, to the Illy coffees the 'Kiosk d’Asporto' beach kiosk offers is inherently Italian and delights customers with a taste of Italy that's nowhere near Rome. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Italian Fare Beach Kiosks:** The trend of Italian fare beach kiosks presents an opportunity for beachside communities to offer authentic and delicious Italian food in a more casual and convenient way. - **Scaled-down Food Environments:** The trend of scaled-down food environments showcases the potential for smaller and more specialized food establishments, such as beach kiosks, to provide a focused and immersive dining experience. - **Bringing International Cuisine to Unexpected Locations:** The trend of bringing international cuisine to unexpected locations highlights the opportunity for entrepreneurs to introduce diverse and unique culinary experiences in non-traditional settings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can benefit from the trend of Italian fare beach kiosks by exploring new opportunities to offer authentic and convenient food options in beachside locations. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** The hospitality and tourism industry can utilize the trend of scaled-down food environments by incorporating specialized food establishments like beach kiosks to enhance and diversify the dining experiences for tourists. - **Entrepreneurship and Culinary Innovation:** The trend of bringing international cuisine to unexpected locations provides opportunities for entrepreneurs and culinary innovators to create unique dining concepts and expand their market reach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Italian Food Markets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-deli-co.md) - [Fruit-Filled Sorbetto Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-filled-sorbetto-shells.md) - [Authentic Italian Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sammontana-gelati-allitaliana.md) - [Toronto Italian Food Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porta.md) - [Roman-Style Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porta-frozen-pizzas.md) - [Designer Beach Resort Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-club-popup.md) - [Italian Gelato Truffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-truffles.md) - [Carbonara-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bella-italia.md) - [Italian-Style Festival Piazzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aperol-spritz-piazza.md)
