Neil Perry's Italian Fine Diner Rosetta to Open in Sydney

It's official — Neil Perry's Rosetta is coming to Sydney. Perry posted an image on Instagram yesterday, announcing that the restaurant's second location is in the works at Grosvenor Place in the CBD. The much-loved Melbourne original has been teasing Sydneysiders for years, offering up authentic Italian cooking from both the country's northern and southern regions. Come this autumn, we too will boast our own version of this high-class Italian affair.

Word of the restaurant's migration to Sydney was first heard back in November when Urban Purveyor Group acquired the Rockpool Group to form the Rockpool Dining Group. Their combined portfolio of eateries became 47 venues overnight, and they expect their portfolio to grow to more than 80 venues in 2017 alone. They've recently launched two take away spinoffs, Fratelli Famous and Saké Jr, and plan to open 100 of each (yes, of each) over the next five years. Plus, Perry's Burger Project plans to keep expanding, with one opening in Brisbane last month and another in Parramatta this week.

Rosetta will be in good company, with Perry's fine-casual dining restaurant Eleven Bridge just down the block. We personally can't wait to dig in to some buttery, handmade pasta and fresh seafood dishes that the Melbourne location is known for, along with the expertly curated and extensive wine menu from Italy's best regions. Bring that carb food coma on.

Rosetta is set to open this autumn at Grosvenor Place, 225 George Street, Sydney. Watch this space for updates on the restaurant's official opening.
