Amici di Kogarah

From humble beginnings as a South Sydney neighbourhood pizza joint, Amici di Kogarah has expanded to include a menu that encompasses breakfast, lunch and dinner, alongside a full-stocked and licensed bar. They specialise in traditional Italian favourites such as risotto and linguine, as well as the classic gelato for when dinner is over. Found on Belgrave Street in Kogarah, Amici's is an authentic taste of Italy that all the family can enjoy.

Amici di Kogarah is a Belgrave Street-based Italian restaurant with something to offer all day and late into the night. They begin with a selection of Aussie breakfast classics, from bacon rolls to omelettes and eggs Benedict, and by lunchtime they really hit their groove, with favourites from their homeland in the form of paninis and pizza al taglio, Roman-style square slices that keeping the Kogarah natives ticking over until teatime. As the afternoon becomes evening, the main restaurant opens and the full menu of Italian classics is revealed, with everything from linguine and risotto to steak and fish dishes, all made with fresh ingredients.

Amici di Kogarah made their name as a pizza joint, and they were so successful in pleasing the hungry public of South Sydney with their wood-fired oven that they were able to grow into the full restaurant they are today. Giovanni, the manager of the Kogarah cafe, has also designed a wine list and cocktail selection to match their menu, and, as one would expect of an Italian restaurant, their after-dinner gelato is second-to-none, making Amici di Kogarah the perfect dining destination for young and old alike.
