Roo and Wattle Ragu: slow-cooked in a red wine reduction with pappardelle.

Finding somewhere to dine with over 35 wines on offer by the glass is a feat within itself, but that’s exactly what Northside Wines on High Street in Northcote offers Melburnians. Using the wine preservation technology of Coravin and Enomatic ensures that the final pour of a bottle is as fresh as the first, alongside native Australian ingredients used in a primarily Italian focused menu. Dine on tables made from repurposed shelving inside a large, open-plan space surrounded by black walls and vibrant murals of native flora while sharing small plates such as charred cauliflower with Geraldton wax and a citrus tahini sauce or larger plates like the vegemite and cheese ravioli – pulled lamb in a Vegemite reduction with three-cheese bechamel and olive dust. Creative pizzas are also on offer.
