The best meals at this family-run stalwart tend to begin with a negroni,end with sweet malvasia and feature a good dose of Canberra District shiraz and Piedmont nebbiolo in between.
That is to say,you can drink very well. But it’s not just a cosy hangout for Clonakilla and Barolo,and rehearsed staff can run you through the double-digit bottles,too.
Easy-going friulano to ride alongside crunchy spindles and hoops of calamari fritti? You bet. This is a kitchen that knows its way around a cold-weather pasta,and prettily folded pumpkin,ricotta and leek tortellini – fragrant with burnt-sage butter and aged reggiano – deserve a place on your hit list,plus slappy paccheri with chilli and juicy,savoury crumbles of pork sausage.
Check the daily specials for chargrilled rib-eye to go with that shiraz,and finish with a spiced rum and ricotta cannoli that tastes like Christmas.
