Bar Italia
This Little Italy stalwart has a limitless menu, $1 corkage and all the housemade gelato you could wish for.
Overview
The Norton Street stalwart and true icon of Sydney's Little Italy, Bar Italia, has been a tried-and-true spot for a feast since 1952. Whether you sit within the trattoria's nostalgia-laden dining room or in the courtyard out back, come on your lonesome or with a group of ten, the buzzing spot overflows with low-key, good-time vibes.
There's a boundless menu, $1 corkage and strict rules — 'No skim, no soy, cash only' — accompanying efficient service, generous servings and a bright roll call of housemade gelatos. The optimal way to feast? Take your pick of the pasta menu — our rec is the penne melanzane or spaghetti cozze — with a Bar Italia salad and spinach arancini alongside. Deliziosa!
Pizza highlights at Sydney's bar Italia include the Etna with pepperoni, bacon, Spanish onions, capsicum, garlic and chilli, or the vegetarian plus with artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, capsicum, olives, Spanish onions, eggplants and garlic.
