Bar Vino, Mount Lawley
A vibrant, noisy celebration of everything Italian, Bar Vino is an aria to great Italian dishes and the bustling vibe of inner-city Milan. Walking into Bar Vino in Mount Lawley is a tonic. It’s noisy, the tables are close, European bistro close. Staff weave expertly through the restaurant with plates and glassware. The energy crackles. It’s full pace, but not rushed or abrupt.
It’s at once friendly and professional. Try the stracciatella with citrus, chilli and pistachio; risotto alla Milanese with beef cheek; and their large cotoletta. The wine list is a serious document, expansive, well selected and purposefully constructed around the food and experience.
