Tartare is a staple of Italian antipasti 😋

Clean, fresh, tasty.

A way of expressing the leanest cuts of meat in their raw form.

It's one our favourite dishes for an interesting dinner start back at home, in Italy 🇮🇹

As game meat lovers, and I decided to use one of the most delicious meat offerings discovered here in Oz... kangaroo 🇦🇺

Come and have a go!

C&C

Having a seasonal menu that changes every two and a half months is what brings us more joy, fun and pride as a boutique restaurant...

It's so overwhelming that, sometimes, we forget how old and unchanged dishes are what shaped what we are today 🐙

There is one particular dish that hasn't changed, nor has been ever taken off the menu since we opened in 2017 and it's the most beloved by new and regular customers, young, old, Aussies, Italians....

Slow cooked baby octopi "alla buzara" in soft polenta and homegrown herbs

Staple of the cuisine of norther-eastern coast of Italy (Veneto and Friuli), the "buzara" is what, for us translates as warm and cozy slow cooks💨

Be sure to have your fix when you visit us!

14/01/2023

It's all about the welcome 💫

One is a revisitation of a typical dish from Chef Chiero's Veneto region, the other one is a typical display of the main produce from Carol's beloved Parma

Which one is which? 😉

11/01/2023

Every cork tells a story 🍾

And with a 99.9% Italian wine list (there's one French rose, in honour of our neighbours 😉), there's a lot of stories to be told 🥂

Open tonight from 6pm

06/01/2023

Storms, clouds, rain... perfect setting for some White Diamonds, don't you think?

31/12/2022

And with that, we say goodbye to an amazing 2022 and welcome a 2023 full of changes and good vibes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
BUON ANNO NUOVO!
