Editorial Review
Hidden within a corner terrace, where Paddington collides with Darlinghurst, is one of Sydney’s best Italian restaurants. The humble and unassuming building exudes the best traits of each suburb, elegance mixed with functionality, the restaurant’s focus is on classic Italian cuisine as opposed to the extravagance and intricate presentation that can overwhelm some of Sydney’s other fine-diners. With delicious, unadulterated Italian cooking, this is a restaurant you would hope to stumble across in the back streets of an Italian village, yet you don’t have to travel half way around the world to experience it.
Armando Percuoco’s menu celebrates his Neopolitan culinary heritage, representing extravagant Italian ingredients alongside the cucina povera (the food of the poor) that defines the real cooking of Italy. His signature dish, fettucine al tartufovo, is an exquisitely simple dish of pasta served with cream, parmesan and a truffled egg, tossed together at the table in front of you. Main courses, such as the slow-roasted milk-fed lamb, on the bone, with white wine, garlic and rosemary, highlight the Roman influence of the recent addition of Roman chef Massimo Bianchi. Finish with a traditional Italian dessert, such as cassata Siciliana (a hollow sponge filled with ricotta, candied fruit, liqueur and chocolate) washed down with one of the many Italian wines featured on the comprehensive list.
