Fratelli Paradiso
Potts Point, Sydney
30-40YRS"In 1991, three Italian boys headed north of the border to bring a little slice of Melbourne dining to Sydney. Fratelli Paradiso opened its doors in 2001 in Potts Point’s leafy Paris quarter and has since become an inner-city institution. Ask any Potts Point local and they’ll tell you the same thing: you come here for the vibrant ambiance and service as much for the well-dressed Italian fare." - Broadsheet.
