6-hour braised beef cheek with creamy, mashed potato, roasted purple Brussels sprouts, mushroom jus and crispy prosciutto.

Expect traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist at Argento Cucina on Queens Parade in Fitzroy North. Find a cosy vibe at this quaint restaurant, where fretwork adorns a bay window frontage and indoors oozes rustic charm with well-worn brick and potted greenery setting the scene for lingering over a meal with famiglia. From breaky plates like char-grilled steak on a toasted ciabatta with roasted peppers, caramelised onion, rocket and aioli to later choices, there is something to tempt all tastes; think lunch pasta plates such as spaghetti marinara with mussels, clams, prawns, calamari, cherry tomato, garlic and chilli with white wine sauce. Start a romantic dinner with an antipasto plate, before rolled and stuffed veal, in rich red wine sugo with polenta, cabbage and rocket salad.
