Vacanza

Arrive before 6.30pm and you'll find Vacanza jam-packed with families lapping up the stellar bambini menu. Unless you have kids of your own, bring earplugs or arrive later, but definitely go. The reward is authentic pizzas with a smoky-scorched base and simple, spot-on toppings. Try Parma proscuitto, cherry tomatoes, rocket and parmesan or a traditional pork and fennel sausage, garlic and broccoli. Whether you kick back downstairs, at the bench overlooking the street, or upstairs, be sure to share a densely rich Nutella and ricotta calzone with vanilla bean ice-cream. Also at Surry Hills.
