Australian Italian alfresco lunch on Father's Day

Here's dad's treat for mum on Father's Day for being helping him to be a great dad.

This vongole fettucini dish is light and tasty though the menu description said it's cooked in white wine cream sauce. The infused chilli oil must have jazzed up the otherwise plain looking dish. I'm surprised that Greek parsley and roast garlic blend very well with the seafood. A sprinkling of cracked pepper and parmesan cheese completes the seasoning. Time to tuck in.


What makes one marinara pasta superior over another is the freshness of the seafood especially the green mussels and prawns. The calamari was small and tender, unlike most of the huge tough bites offered by many restaurants. The spicy tomato pasta sauce was refreshing.


The desserts and coffee are to die for. Leave some space for the sweets.

The venue is a liquor licensed cafe restaurant that starts with the letter L (a hint : a fruit and musical instrument) in the northern districts of Sydney metro area. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food, service and pleasant setting. A good alternative to travelling downtown to CBD, Leichardt or Parramatta for good Italian food.
