Il Locale

Best Known For

Gourmet pizza and pasta, with choices like pappardelle, braised lamb ragu and Parmesan.

For those seeking a slice of Italy while in Brisbane, make a turn down Rosalie’s Nash Street and visit Il Locale, shaded among climbing greenery. Enter to discover a contemporary space styled with timber furniture, impressive leading archways and a colourful light installation, creating a chic, yet relaxed vibe. Find a rustic Italian menu, inspired by the flavours of the homeland and begin with starters of calamari fritti – salt and pepper calamari and citrus mayo, or maybe a delicious beef tartare; before moving onto mains like pappardelle with lamb ragu, or some classic lasagne. Wood-fired pizza is always a popular choice, perhaps pick up a slice topped with tomato, fresh prosciutto di Parma, rocket, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan; finish sweetly with a divine tiramisu.
