Jamie's Italian $50 Long Lunch
You'll get snacks, a big bowl of pasta, dessert and all the prosecco you can drink — all for a pineapple.
Overview
It's been a rocky few years for Jamie's Italian in Australia, having relaunched with full ownership in 2017 only to lose ownership again just one year later. Luckily, the Brisbane-based Hallmark Group took over the management of the Australian restaurants, but not without some casualties — the Canberra and Parramatta outposts (the latter of which has become a steakhouse) quickly closed. But, luckily, the Pitt Street venue has continued to pump out pasta to heaving lunch and dinner crowds. And, this April, Jamie's Italian in the CBD will run a series of bottomless prosecco lunches for a very reasonable $50 per person.
The one-month deal will run on the four Saturdays in April as well as Easter Sunday — and it includes a lot more than just an endless supply of sparkling wine. Each table will be served small bites to share (including those crispy polenta chips), and everyone will get a big bowl of pasta. You'll be be able to choose which one you want, too — think classics like prawn linguine and bucatini carbonara, and signatures including the truffle tagliatelle and lamb ravioli. Plus, it'll all be topped off with panna cotta for dessert.
If we know anything, it's that people really love Jamie's Italian. As such, these lunches are sure book out fast — so front a pineapple and book it already.
