Di Stasio Città

Di Stasio Città, a triangle of food, art, and X-factor, slammed into Melbourne with the force of nuclear fission. The top end of town address further cements Rinaldo Di Stasio's image as Melbourne's hospitality Medici, as the glitterati, politerati, and literati accustomed to journeying to the St Kilda mothership can now enjoy an utterly familiar menu of Italian perfection right in their spiritual home. The calamari and radicchio maltagliati, as well as the saltimbocca alla Romana and ricotta gnudi, have made the journey to Spring Street.

Città isn't fast – unless you count the avant-garde video installations that play on loop – but you can relax in the brutalist dining room knowing that your Negroni will be skillfully mixed, and the anchovy and sage leaf fritters will be the right aperitivo to go with it. In 2022, the opening of adjacent Bar Democratico promises to further divide the atom of the local restaurant scene in the most enthralling way.
