Ciao Cucina

Best Known For

Housemade fettuccine with beef cheek ragu.

Discerning Wollongong foodies head down Corrimal Street to find Ciao Cucina to appease cravings for authentic Italian fare. This traditional trattoria-style restaurant is a lively buzz of conversation as locals gather at dark wood table settings under walls covered with Art Deco-style Italian prints to peruse a menu of everyone’s favourite dishes. Embark on your culinary adventure with calamari stuffed with rice, anchovies and capers, served with Napoletana sauce, or thinly sliced porchetta with fennel seed oil; for the main, think spaghetti marinara with prawns, calamari and mussels in tomato sauce, or perhaps a pot of mussels cooked in tomato, white wine and garlic, served with toasted bread, hits the mark. Housemade lemon vanilla cheesecake entices to finish, or traditional tiramisu.
