Designed to reignite the presence and passion of the USA’s energetic Italian eateries in the 70’s with good food, dim lights, ambience and good times, Sasso Italiano offers a rich seasonal Negroni menu and natural wines.

For draught devotees, Sasso offers an extra special tipple with a bespoke beer, Birra Cazino, brewed exclusively for Sasso Italiano. Brewed by the award-winning Aether Brewing, Birra Cazino will be one of the first Italian-style lagers crafted in Australia.

Good to know - Sasso is the first venue by former Ovolo and QT F&B Directors, Vincent Lombino and Jared Thibault, who have been responsible for some of Australia’s most impressive food and beverage concepts.
