Ladro
A pizza renaissance at modern trattoria
There is still an air of coolness about Fitzroy favourite Ladro (meaning thief in Italian) as it continues to deliver versatile and flexible food.
Since emerging on Melbourne's inner city eatery scene, the fan base of artisan wood fired pizzas have stood strong. You won't be mugged of flavours with an assortment of toppings, thin crisp based pizza crusts and home made pastas. It's no wonder this trattoria has been awarded one chef's hat, (The Age Good Food Guide) seven years running 2005-2011.
Can't get a seat amid the hip deco on Gertrude, try your luck at Ladro Greville (Street) in Prahran. There's also a takeaway menu that's popular among locals.
Best pizza in town? Ladro certainly serves up a fine slice.
Eat: Fresh seasonal ingredients are sourced to deliver a feel good menu, highlighting Italian cuisine. First up on the Gertrude Street dinner menu is the Pizze (pizza). One, along with a Primi Piatti (side) of beans drizzled with honey, is ample for two. Leave room for dolci (dessert) as the Tiramisu is a must.
