Santucci’s

Cafe$$

Welcome to the family. The owners snaffled favourite pieces from their parents’ and grandparents’ homes to create a Santucci living room. Framed photos from Italy overlook solid, carved, wooden dining tables. You might spot Dad in the kitchen washing dishes while Mum’s love is evident in her cakes, which exemplify the food here: home-style, familiar and delicious. Scrambled eggs are fluffy and feta-laden, perched atop a potato roesti, which is crunchy, not oily. Risotto is creamy, not gluggy; it might come piled with mushrooms, pancetta, parmesan and thyme. Muesli slice is buttery and chocolate cake soulful. Also in Carnegie.
