VERDE

Our Head Chef, Antonio Ruggerino, has created a menu based on authentic Italian cuisine with a strong Southern Influence.  Some of the recipes have even been passed on by our Nonnas’ from San Giovanni di Gerace - a small village in Southern Italy’s, Calabria. Antonio, sought further inspiration in 2007 when he participated in full immersion training at the Italian Institute for Advanced Culinary and Pastry Arts.

Our kitchen sources, the finest local ingredients and specialties direct from Italy, our fresh pastas and many of our vinegars and condiments are home made. Unique to the area is our cocktail bar, situated on the first floor and separate to the main dining area. Large open windows, a pretty Juliet balcony facing Stanley Street and a small open courtyard ensures a comfortable and stylish space to meet with friends, host special events, or enjoy pre or post dinner drinks.
