D.Vino Bistro & Vinoteca

Tucked into Woolloongabba, D.Vino bistro and vinoteca is an intimate 40-seater Italian restaurant and wine bar with a distinctly European cadence.

Inspired by the Piedmont region, it leans into relaxed refinement. The mood is that of a sophisticated dinner party, underscored by tasteful lounge music and the soft sway of saxophone house. The space encourages lingering, with conversation flowing as glasses are raised and time politely slows.

The kitchen charts a contemporary course through Italian tradition, favouring tapas-style plates for sharing alongside considered à la carte courses. Seafood takes centre stage, framed by nods to French and Italian fine dining.

A playful housemate cannoli romagnolo filled with mortadella mousse and parmesan fondue might precede crostone alla carbonara, crowned with a sous-vide yolk and crispy guanciale, while char-grilled eggplant with olive tapenade, tomato gel and smoked ricotta layers smoke and tang.

For mains, a black garlic risotto brightened with lemon speaks in hushed, luxurious tones.

The vinoteca is a serious affair. More than 470 labels lean heavily Italian and French, joined by a small, curated cocktail list for those in a stirring mood.

Book in, share something lovely, and let the night uncork a story or two at D.Vino Bistro & Vinoteca!
