This upscale bistro is an established Fitzroy institution that draws the crows at every service. It’s comfortable, intimate dining room treads a very fine line between mannered elegance and decadence with a sleek marble bar and modishly ravaged walls contributing to the sense that you've stepped into a scene from La Dolce Vita. Chef Di Stasio’s traditional Italian cooking is produce-driven and inspiring in its simplicity Crisply roasted duck is now a local legend, char-grilled baby squid is a sheer delight, and the pasta is always al dente. If the amazingly delicate lobster omelet is on the menu, do yourself a favour and order it as it’s a prime example of why the restaurant was awarded Two Chefs Hats in the Age Good Food Guide 2007 The staff are exemplary in their professionalism and their knowledge of the excellent wine list. -
