Discover local Italian gems
Who doesn't love Italian food? With so many different pasta, meat and seafood dishes, Italian cuisine is incredibly popular in Australia. And let’s not forget about the pizza! From starters to desserts, Italian cuisine has had a massive impact on Australian palates. Due to mass migration over the last century, delicious flavours and ingredients ‒ including herbs and spices ‒ have become extremely common in both restaurants and home kitchens.
Lasagne, bruschetta, homemade gnocchi, pizza, tiramisu, gelato and so many other countless dishes have become Aussie favourites, with many recipes passed on from generation to generation.

Spaghetti Bolognese
The two most commonly used Italian words in Britain are Spaghetti Bolognese (aka Spag Bol). Rich, tomato-based sauce nestling in a swirling, fork-friendly mass of pasta is the embodiment of La Dolce Vita and – although there are numerous variants of veal, beef, lamb, pork or vegetarian – it always does the Italian job. (Note: The Family love their sauce with Meatballs.) Spaghetti Vongole, a more refined classic infused with garlic, clams, white wine and chilli flakes, is a dish for lovers of the Mediterranean (or even North) Sea. Did you know Spaghetti Carbonara was inspired by American GI’s rations of powdered eggs and bacon after liberating Rome during WW2? Just order…INCOMING!!!
Lasagne
Lasagne is a culinary classic made by stacking multiple layers of pasta between alternating Bolognese-style, vegetable and cheesy sauce layers. The pasta is wide and square (which is what we’ll all become if we eat too much of it). Another great way of getting stuffed is Ravioli, a filling of meat, seafood, cheese or vegetables sealed between two layers of thin square pasta dough, served with broth or sauce. Cannelloni are large, cylindrical pasta tubes baked with fillings like beef or ricotta and spinach, then covered in tomato or Béchamel sauce. Betcha fancy some…we can help.
