It's cheap and it's a great spot for a quick focaccia. The lunch and dinner meals are served upstairs. Look out for the massive schnitzels.

One of the best Italian family style joints around.. Simple place, always busy, can sit outside, BYO... Very reasonably priced! If the restaurant is too full go to Reggio Lounge next door, same people, same menu, just no pizza but licensed - we actually prefer the lunge, go for the outside tables on Stanley Street.

Another favourite of ours. A great gastro pub with classic modern Italian. Amazing ingredients, amazing food and quality ingredients. Their pizza is amazing, as are all the main dishes and pasta. Looks the specials. Head to their wine room too, it won 2018 Australia's bar of the year. It's a really interesting venue. Gets busy.

Great place for breakfast / lunch. BRUNCH! Really delicious and interesting menu. Japanese fusion influenced. Great coffee and friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Involves a bit of a walk up the hill but you then deserve that extra naughty dish at bottom of the menu!
