Colosseo Restaurant

Head out towards Carr House and you'll find yourself in a dining room that doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. This is Italian food done with care: the kind of place where they're not messing about with foam or reinvention, just getting the fundamentals right. You'll spot families tucking into proper portions, couples sharing bottles of wine, groups of mates making a night of it. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, and after 782 reviews sitting at 4.3 stars, people aren't coming back by accident. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feeling—the sort of neighbourhood restaurant where you can imagine becoming a regular without much effort.
