📍Bar Idda, Brunswick East - 4.5 ⭐️ out 5. Sicilian flavour authentically shines through here. I, for one, am so on board. We had: ➖Tagliatelle with blue swimmer crab and trapanese pesto ($33) ➖Cavatelli with confit zucchini, mint, garlic and chilli ($31) ➖Crispy cauliflower caponata with walnuts, olives, capers and tomato agrodolce ($12) ➖Flatbread with cultured butter ($11) If you like acidic flavours you absolutely have to get the cauliflower caponata! So delicious, particularly the crunch of the walnuts. Honestly this dish is just perfection in my eyes. The pastas here are incredible and always cooked to a perfect al dente. The star is the show was absolutely the crab tagliatelle. A beautiful amalgamation of incredible flavours and the softness of the crab (which is generously peppered throughout) is just amazing. The flatbread was also so delicious. If you’re following along with these posts you know I love a cultured butter. We walked in here and got sat at the bar on a very busy night. Unfortunately the bar seating (and all seating inside at Bar Idda) is a bit crammed. This does give it a cosy vibe but is also a little less than comfortable. You also have to really squish through the walkway to get to the back tables/bathroom. Bonus points for the hooks to hang your bags under the bar though! It’s also visually stunning here. The vines on the exterior of the building are just heavenly. Overall 4.5 ⭐️ out of 5.

back from the archives with my favourite italian hidden gems in brunswick @baridda 02.02.2024. when i discovered this corner gem in brunswick and since then, have gone out with friends for a quick snack, drinks at night or have merely recommended this when walking past it millions of times. serving sicilian cuisine (my favourite kind of italian food) and dare i say one of my favourite focaccia breads still to this day, says alot. 🥖 focaccia, stracciatella, dried herbs, garlic olive oil 4.8/5 🥕Giardiniera, house pickles 4.5/5 weird i dont usually care about it but cut thru all 🍆 mulinciani, (baked layered eggplant), passata, buffalo mozzarella, basil, pecorino 4.6/5 🍝 maccaroni, twirled pasta, slow cooked beef & pork ragu 4.3/5 🐑 agneddu, slow roasted lamb shoulder, fagioli cannellini, conza spice, pistachio 4.25/5 so hard to find ragu that hits the spot, is cooked well but not too well done, and isnt to wine-y. this ragu pasta was just enough. al dente pasta, and the tomato wasn’t too much whilst still allowing the meat to shine through subtly but deeply. ill wait to find anything near replaceable to this ambient lively crowded restaurant that is filled with energy, aromatic foods, and passionate friends and chefs united. its got a graceful antique charm that is so original to its culture. Unassuming high quality italian that I kept in my drafts for so long bc i wanted to gatekeep for the longest time. my favourite Sicilian restaurant in melbourne 🍝🏝️ self-funded, unaffiliated #melbournefood #melbourneitalian #sicily #melbournepasta #melbournefocaccia
