Osteria Da Bruno Pop-Up at Mortadeli

Overview

An all-Italian affair is soon happening along the Surf Coast, with Osteria Da Bruno taking over Mortadeli for a three-night residency. Pairing Bruno Fine Food's occasional pop-up restaurant with Torquay's Med-inspired cafe and grocer, diners will encounter a thoughtfully paced five-course menu from Wednesday, January 21–Friday, January 23.

In the kitchen, Osteria Da Bruno chefs Beppe Iodice and Kristian Ruggeri have shaped this culinary offering, where the rhythm of the night is designed to reflect the easygoing nature of a traditional Italian osteria. Priced at $80 per person, there are two seatings per night, with each accommodating a convivial 38 guests.

Like the best of Italian osterias, the collab will feature simple, unpretentious cuisine with a few modern twists on Italian classics. Think Osteria Da Bruno's signature seafood-filled ravioli with slow-cooked lobster bisque, as well as their version of cottoletta. Yet the pop-up isn't limited to just Mortadeli's retro-themed interior.

If you don't score a seat for dinner, guests are invited to explore Cortile da Bruno, a casual walk-in outdoor courtyard experience. Running alongside the activation daily from 3pm, expect fancy drinks in the sun alongside charcoal mortadella sliders and DJ-spun tunes by 0lyps0.
