Overview
Situated in the luxe Crown Sydney, the impressive Italian restaurant a'Mare is known for its elegant Italian fare and extensive wine list. If you're a fan of chef Alessandro Pavoni's elevated cuisine but are only after a low-key meal, the restaurant has opened a relaxed eatery in its in-venue bar.
a'Mare Cucinetta serves up a concise menu of casual dishes for lunch and dinner. Start with gnocco fritto with wagyu bolognese, calamari fritti or an antipasto box to share. Chef Pavoni's famed pasta is still available, including a busiate with 12-hour slow-cooked wagyu bolognese or the simple but flavour-packed spaghetti aglio olio e pepperoncino. There are also more substantial meat and fish options. Plus, a'Mare's full beverage list is available.
While bookings are available, walk-ins are encouraged. Pavoni wants the new venue to feel like a versatile osteria that diners can drop into for either a quick meal or a special celebration.
a'Mare Cucinetta is now open at Crown Sydney. Lunch is available from 12–2.30pm every day except Tuesdays. Dinner is available from 5.30–12pm every day.
