  • Matteo Double Bay

    Double Bay, Sydney, New South Wales

  • Capriccio Osteria

    Leichhardt, Sydney, New South Wales

    There’s an authentic, unpretentious feel to this neighbourhood osteria owned by Positano native Michele Rispoli, with its Tuscan-style courtyard and bar brimming with retro Italian crockery. Its handmade pastas – particularly the squid ink spaghetti, made with blue swimmer crab, chilli and basil – are the stuff of Mediterranean dreams.
