Meaning 'our' in Italian, Lulie Tavern's upstairs, all-weather rooftop is welcoming Lydia Greenwood and and Chef Dane Hewson (ex-Embla, Grossi Florentino) to the family on Sunday, June 11. The rock 'n roll bar will be hosting a day of Italian dining, complete with live tunes and red-and-white checkered tablecloth.
Highlights of the $59 set menu include a cacio e pepe hash brown with creme fraiche and black pepper caramel, plus the 8-hour ragu served with handmade tagliatelle. Tortellini di zucca with a brown butter sauce and slow-roasted pumpkin, a wild rocket salad and tiramisu cannoli rounds out the offering.
Additional add-ons include oysters with a Bloody Mary mignonette, and a tongue-in-cheek glass of wine with biscotti wafers dubbed "take communion".
The menu will be available from 12pm, and you'll find a stack of funky Italian vino options to match from Quel Vino. As always, Lulie will be dishing up a rocking soundtrack from open to close, complete with DJ Richie 1250 spinning Italian disco party vibes.
