Italian and Sons
Braddon, Canberra
40-50YRS"Inspired by the boisterous trattorias of Italy, Italian & Sons is a smaller, more laid-back sibling to Mezzalira, known for its white tablecloths, refined airs and elegant food. You won’t find any tablecloths here – just sheets of white paper ready to stain with oily focaccia fingers and red flecks of splattered sugo. On the menu, old-school rules are challenged in subtle ways. It might be a drizzle of fermented chilli oil, or a cured egg yolk atop a carbonara." - Broadsheet.
