Italian$$

East Sydney’s status as the Little Italy mothership is upheld with pride at this old-timer purveyor of pizza, pasta and scaloppine by the plateful. Forget regional subtleties. This is about hillocks of spaghetti, red-sauce slathered pizza, piles of grilled quail, and mountains of iceberg- and tomato-laden salads. Pasta comes a dozen ways, veal or chicken eight ways, pizza with everything from tuna to bolognese sauce. Cannelloni are baked crepes lathered in tomato sauce, grilled octopus is smoky and tender, the tre colore pizza of mozza, rocket and prosciutto is garlic-laden lovely. Fill any gaps with gelato and tiramisu.
