The Age Good Food Guide reviewers are out on the road for the latest issue. Based on reports from the field, we have compiled a list of their favourite tastes of Italy.
Best casual Italian - TOP TEN
We're talking a step up from hoofing pizza and gelati on the run here. Still, Italian is arguably at its best where service is easy-yet-sharp, kids are welcome in their PJs, and pastas that could heal the world rule.
Chianti Bistro
Chianti seems like the bistro that 1985 forgot, but the young team who took over the neon-lit venue in 2014 have embraced the retro mood, which now seems fondly ironic rather than naff. Chef and part-owner Domenic Stanton (ex Grossi Florentino, MoVida) is clearly hooked on classics. The tightly scripted menu (around five antipasti, entrees, mains and sides) might offer agro dolce rabbit with broad beans and pancetta in spring, or partner the first pine mushrooms of autumn with soft ricotta and sage, to brilliant effect. Gently remixed desserts such as almond milk panna cotta keep the good times rolling.
