Ragazzi Restaurant

Best Known For

Hearty mains such as lamb shank, mashed potato and vegetables.

For those who imagine Italian-Mediterranean food consists only of pizza, pasta, garlic and tomato sauce, dining at Ragazzi Restaurant on Mills Street in Middle Park is a revelation. Whether you choose to eat in air-conditioned comfort indoors, or alfresco under market umbrellas, you’ll find something on the menu to tempt. A chic, welcoming vibe invites lingering over a meal with someone special, perhaps starting with octopus carpaccio or garlic prawns and a glass of white wine. Housemade pasta plates like spinach and ricotta ravioli, pesto cream and Parmesan always hit the mark, or veal saltimbocca, Parma prosciutto, sage roast potatoes and vegetables. Pizza lovers devour slices topped with smoked salmon or Italian sausage; divine dolci of tiramisu and panna cotta await those with room.
