Sosta Cucina
Northern Italian in North Melbourne
I felt like Italian. Melbourne Gastronome’s recommended Sosta Cucina was given a go over trusty old favourites The Grill or The Cellar Bar at
the quintessential Grossi Florentino. I was not disappointed. It was no surprise that Head Chef Aaron Read
hailed from Grossi’s empire with other notable roots in some of Melbourne’s finest.
Eat: For Northern Italian cuisine, the linguine al
granchio e bottarga was given the utmost respect with the blue swimmer grab
shining as the hero of the dish. The
maile in due modi was equally as delicious. Both dishes were recommended by staff as the house specialities.

Drink: An honourable mention goes to the Wrattonbully Peppertree Shiraz, 2009.
