Why cross Smith Street for dinner

Fitzroy has no shortage of restaurants. What we offer that is specific: a Puglia-style base, San Marzano tomatoes, pasta made in-house, and a short menu split into rosse (with tomato) and bianche (without). If you want to compare styles, our guide to Puglia-style pizza explains how it differs from Neapolitan and Roman.

What to order

• Regina Margherita: San Marzano tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil.
• Green Life: zucchini cream, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, burrata and mint olive oil.
• Lasagna Della Mamma: fresh pasta sheets, slow-cooked ragù and béchamel, made from scratch.

Half the menu is vegetarian. Tell us about allergies or dietary requirements when you book or order, or call (03) 9417 7880 before you come in. See the full menu, or read what Puglia-style pizza is.
