Bendigo’s Must-Try Italian Gem: A Culinary Postcard from Tuscany 🇮🇹！

Nestled in a heritage gold-rush building, this trattoria delivers la dolce vita with Victorian flair—where every bite feels like a scene from Under the Tuscan Sun meets Gold Rush. Signature Dishes That Shine 🍝🌟 Trio Pasta Platter (Star Player) 🏆 The creamy chicken risotto stole the show—al dente carnaroli rice swimming in truffle-infused parmesan foam 🍗🧀 Pro Tip: Ask for extra crusty bread to mop up every last drop! 🥖 Controversial Tiramisu ☕ A bold reinterpretation with: ✓ Espresso-soaked ladyfingers (almost too boozy) 🥃 ✓ Whipped cream crown instead of mascarpone ✓ Dark chocolate shards that crunch like Florentine tiles Love it or hate it—but absolutely conversation-worthy! 💬 Atmosphere & Quirks 🎭 "Spider" Float Throwback: Vanilla gelato + house-made sarsaparilla = childhood nostalgia in a frosty glass 🍦🍺 Parmigiana Performance: The crumbed pork cutlet arrives with a theatrical cheese pull (tastes better than it photographs) 📸🧀 Gold Rush Décor: Original 1860s bank vault now stores wine bottles 🏦🍷 Wallet Impact 💸 $60 AUD gets you: ✓ Pasta trio + mains ✓ Two artisan drinks ✓ That polarizing dessert Note: 10% surcharge on Sundays—but worth it for the live mandolin music! 🎶 #Australia #Bendigo#BendigoEats #ItalianDownUnder #FoodieMemories
