Pizzicotto Pizzeria e Cucina

In Strathmore, Melbourne, Pizzicotto Pizzeria e Cucina brings together the warmth of an Italian trattoria with the polish of a modern dining space. The atmosphere is lively and relaxed, with a full bar and a line-up of cocktails to suit any occasion, from casual catch-ups to milestone gatherings.

The menu leans into honest Italian cooking, where simple ingredients are treated with care and tradition. A generous tagliere di salumi opens the meal for sharing, while calamari fritti arrives crisp and feather-light, brightened with lemon and roasted garlic aioli.

From the stove, house-made gnocchi ragu pairs slow-cooked beef cheek with parmesan, while spaghetti pescatore brings the coast to the table with Napoli sauce, mussels, prawns and clams. Secondi keep things hearty yet refined, from cotoletta di vitello with truffle mash to fritto misto di mare with all the satisfying crunch one could wish for.

Whether it is dinner with friends or a special celebration, Pizzicotto Pizzeria e Cucina keeps the focus on flavour, conviviality and ease. Guests are invited to book a table, share a plate and let the evening roll deliciously on.
