Semola

Tucked into Marrickville, Semola brings a sincere taste of Italy to Sydney’s Inner West. Chef Aniello Bortone and co-owner Reth Hok lead a kitchen grounded in tradition and premium Italian imports.

The menu begins with antipasti designed to set a high standard. Calamari arrives crisp with aioli, while arancini feature spicy mayo and parmesan chips. The tagliere di salumi provides a large spread of cured meats, grilled aubergine, marinated olives, and house-baked focaccia for sharing.

Pasta serves as the centrepiece of the experience. Rigatoni with slow-cooked wagyu and caramelised onion delivers rich, comforting flavours. Spaghetti with blue swimmer crab and lemon crumble offers a lighter, coastal alternative. Enjoy classic desserts like tiramisu, cannoli, affogato, and gelato, which provide a traditional finish.

Set a date and gather good company for this meal. The restaurant successfully celebrates the simple pleasures of Italian dining in the heart of the Inner West.

Please note: bookings on Friday and Saturday nights may be allocated to outdoor dining, depending on the main booking.
