If you can’t get down with Italian food, we need to talk – how is it possible not to love pizza, pasta and meats as tender as your own mama makes? Italian Street Kitchen at Newstead’s Gasworks has brought an authentic piece of Rome to Brisbane, taking diners on a journey into contemporary Roman street-food culture. The food on offer here is all about embracing the basics, focusing on using simple ingredients and methods to create authentic yet elegant dishes – think light and crisp pizza, pasta made fresh daily and an indulgent spit roast to get the idea. Patrons can even watch traditional Italian preparation and cooking methods taking place before their eyes as the chefs create magic in the open-plan kitchen. If that wasn’t enough, thirsty patrons BYO wine, order Italian wine and beer off tap, or go crazy at the self-serve sparkling water station.
