Olli Italiano is a charming contemporary Italian diner and bar serving up delicious pizzas, pasta and antipasti as well as Italian flavoured cocktails, beer and wine on a prime corner of East Brisbane.
Antipasti is a standout and includes mushroom truffle arancini; burrata with grilled peach, basil & balsamic glaze; house baked foccacia; caprese; calamari fritti; and crostini Romano (crispy crostini, roasted red pepper dip, Roman artichoke, Straciatella, lemon zest & extra virgin olive oil).
Pasta dishes are equally delicious, with choices including pumpkin & ricotta-filled ravioli, tagliatelle and slow-cooked beef ragu in a rich Napoletana sauce; linguine with prawns, chilli, garlic, lemon and herbs; and pappardelle with mushroom, truffle, parmesan and herbs.
Meanwhile Neopolitan-style pizzas come with artisan toppings like tomato, flor di latte, roasted eggplant & zucchini, semi dried tomato, artichoke & goat cheese (Otralana); fior de latte, mortadella, pistachio and stracciatella (Mortadella); and dried figs, gorgonzola and prosciutto di Parma (Principessa). And for dessert, there's must-try gelato and tiramisu.
On the drinks list are Italian-flavoured cocktails, perfect to enjoy with an antipasto dish or share platter, along with Italian beers and a curated selection of Italian and Australian wines.
Good to know - The menu is available for both dine in and takeaway. There is limited street parking available nearby.
