Nicola's Ristorante

Say ‘ciao’ to Nicola’s, Bunbury’s favourite neighbourhood Italian.

A cosy space adorned with Italian art, it is always buzzing with a loyal crowd of locals, drawn back by the friendly service as much as the authentic comfort food.

In true Italian style, it’s a family affair in the kitchen, with Chef Ian Spear at the helm and Matthew Spear as sous chef.

Expect all your Italian favourites such as pizza, pasta, grills and mouth-watering antipasti, as well as more unusual options like crab linguine with Smirnoff vodka cream. We can’t get enough of the pork and pear pizza, drizzled with spicy bbq plum sauce.

The wine list focuses on Aussie favourites as well as a few stand-out options from Italy. It doesn’t get any more authentic than toasting la dolche vita with a glass of characterful red from Chianti!
