How we read reviews →Buzzy Chinatown-fringe Italian turning out pasta, pizza and arancini at CBD-friendly prices.
A lively, laneway-facing Italian with a buzzy hustle at peak times and a more cafe-casual than formal-Italian look - no tablecloths, plenty of hustle.
Gluten-free pasta options, a rotating specials board (barramundi, seafood pasta), and a laneway location opposite Holey Moley that draws a young after-work and tourist crowd.
Authenticity is contested in reviews - some diners familiar with Italian cuisine find dishes like carbonara and aglio e olio non-traditional, while most others enjoy it simply as a casual pizza-and-pasta stop.
Mains sit around $30-40; some call it excellent value for the CBD, while a larger group of reviewers feel quality hasn't kept pace with pricing.
