Grossi Florentino Cellar Bar
Italian$$
Opened in the mid-1950s, Grossi Florentino Cellar Bar is a little slice of Europe at the top end of Bourke Street. Streetside tables are a perfect perch for people-watching, sipping a glass of crisp pinot grigio from the wide-ranging wine list, and tucking into antipasti or salted cod croquettes from Guy Grossi's classic Italian menu. Inside, it's all softly lit wood-panelled atmospherics, slightly frenetic during lunch, moody and more romantic after dark.
