Andrew Zuccala is the Melbourne Editor for Concrete Playground, writing about all the best things to do in the city. This includes sharing the most exciting new bars and restaurants you need to check out, the coolest events taking place each week, and just about anything else that’ll help you explore Melbourne to the fullest.

Andrew has a heap of experience as a lifestyle writer — focusing on food and travel — having worked for several publications in Australia and the UK. He’s always eating and drinking about town, hitting up exhibitions, dancing at live gigs and going on day trips around Victoria. Concrete Playground is where he’s sharing all these adventures.

Favourite restaurant in Melbourne: I love Amiconi Restaurant in West Melbourne. It’s an old-school Italian joint that’s been around for over 60 years, serving up authentic Sicilian eats with a BYO wine license. If you're going with a group, make sure you order the banquet feast — there's no way you'll be leaving hungry.
