Osteria di Russo and Russo

Styled on the classic Italian trattorias of the 1970s, Osteria di Russo & Russo pays homage to the influence of new arrivals to Australia, and reinterprets the Italian restaurants of their era, with a mamma in the kitchen cooking things from scratch, a napkin folded into a swan on the table and a maitre D' who remembers your wife's birthday.

The food involves classic Italian flavour combinations, but rarely uses imported ingredients and is informed more by seasons and modern cooking techniques rather than traditional recipes. Meanwhile, the wine list reveres the classics from Piedmont and Tuscany, whilse celebrating excellent examples of Nebbiolo and Trebianno grown locally.
