That didn't take long. Nicholas Hill has already been snapped up following his sudden exit last month from The Old Fitz at Woolloomooloo.
Hill's creative British dishes will be front and centre at The Milan Cricket Club, which opens on Thursday in the La Rosa site in The Strand. The pop-up will run until the end of the year.
La Rosa's Nino Zoccali says it'll be a British-Italian steakhouse. And he explains there's a story behind the pop-up's moniker.
"It's a little-known fact that some of Italy's most important sporting clubs were actually set up by the English fashion industry and other expats living in Italy in the 19th century," he says.
"There's AC Milan [established] in 1889 as The Milan Football and Cricket Club – incidentally within a year of the commencement of construction of Sydney's Strand Arcade."
Hill's raw beef on dripping toast and pig's head schnitzel (in burger form) will both make an appearance on the opening menu.
