Italian and Sons

Braddon, Canberra

40-50YRS

"Inspired by the boisterous trattorias of Italy, Italian & Sons is a smaller, more laid-back sibling to Mezzalira, known for its white tablecloths, refined airs and elegant food. You won’t find any tablecloths here – just sheets of white paper ready to stain with oily focaccia fingers and red flecks of splattered sugo. On the menu, old-school rules are challenged in subtle ways. It might be a drizzle of fermented chilli oil, or a cured egg yolk atop a carbonara." - Broadsheet.

Raku

Canberra, Canberra

50-60YRS

An elegant Japanese fine diner, located in the heart of Civic. Raku is named after the Japanese art form, where hand-crafted ceramics are fired in a kiln and left to cool in the elements, resulting in unpredictable shapes and textures. That philosophy speaks to the elegance of the space, with blond timber accents and moody lighting throughout. The menu is extensive, featuring tempura, raw and hot items, plus entire sections devoted to vegetables and seafood. There’s an emphasis on premium produce. - Broadsheet
