Brought to you by the gang behind 10 William St and Fratelli Paradiso, this leadlight-studded shopfront delivers big noise with nightly rotating food specials (fingers crossed for garlic snails), ice-cold negronis and a natural-leaning wine list. Built in a former EzyMart and renovated to resemble a European wine bar down to the mirrored sconces, blackboard menu and stained glass signage, you’ll find a modest snack menu that’s designed mainly as a support act for the wine.

Good to know: It’s already quite a scene here – it’s a full house by 6.30pm on a Friday. Need a plan B? Piccolo Bar is right next door, ready to welcome you with cocktails and hotdogs.
