Pasta Party at The Italian Bowl, Newtown
I don’t think there is anything quite like the humble bowl of pasta in the world of comfort food. There’s probably not a single person I know who would turn down a bowl of pasta. It has such universal appeal, and can be cooked in so many different ways that it’s hard notto say no….
Exploring Venice, Murano + the colourful island of Burano
Ah, Venice. The city of water, of masks, of bridges. Is there any other city quite like it? Built entirely as a system of canals that link more than 100 islands, perhaps the most iconic images of Venice are those of romantic bridges arched over blissfully calm waters, and slim, banana-shaped gondolas. As part of…
A Tuscan Feast at Andiamo Trattoria del Popolo, Chippendale
If you asked me as a child what my favourite cuisine was, my answer would have been Italian. I still adore pizza and pasta. I remember when dining out used to be all about enjoying simple, honest food. This was particularly so when we frequented our local Italian restaurants, which dished up home-cooked favourites free from…
Lunching at Caffe Dante, Sydney CBD
Hands up if you have been out and about shopping, and suddenly realise you’re starving and it’s way past lunchtime? You find yourself getting hangry while wandering around to find somewhere to stop, then resort to an underwhelming eatery that was most convenient because, really, you just needed to satisfy your stomach. It’s a situation…
Feasting on Bistecca alla Fiorentina | Trattoria Mario, Florence
If there was one thing I was dying to do on our trip to Italy, it was to dine at a noisy, authentic, family-style Trattoria. There are a few different types of eateries in Italy: the trattoria, a casual, modest and often family-run eatery, the more formal risorante, and the rustic ostaria. Trattoria Mario is…
When in Rome
Europe may well be the most romanticised travel destination in the world. Earlier this year, we travelled there for the very first time, our journey spanning just under a month and taking us to the tourist hot-spots of Italy, France and the UK. We began in central Italy, starting in Rome, before working our way…
Cafe Sopra at Fratelli Fresh, Sydney
Some say that you’re either a pasta lover or pizza fiend. Me? I have a hard time choosing one over the other – the slippery, saucy calls of al dente pasta are equally as enticing as the crisp, puffed crust and steaming oozy cheesiness of a pizza fresh from the oven. The Sydney CBD branch…
Jamie’s Italian, Sydney CBD
Sometimes, when we go to a restaurant that doesn’t take bookings, as we approach the restaurant I will quicken my pace from a leisurely walk to a hurried trot in an attempt to reach the end of the queue before anyone else walking in front of me to said restaurant does. It is as if…
Maranello’s, Concord
There are a lot of choices to make when you eat out at an Italian restaurant. Should you order pizza, or pasta? A salad to cut through the carbs, or perhaps some entrees to start? Do you like your pizza with a thin or thick crust? Pineapple on top? I’d say Italian it always best…
