About Cugini's Fitzroy

Embracing the essence of Italian comfort food, Cugini's Fitzroy proudly presents a menu that showcases the best it has to offer.

In many Italian households, a well-kept secret resides - the finest Italian cuisine isn't served at any upscale restaurant, but rather at nonna's house on a lively Sunday afternoon. Ossobucco, verdure cotta, polenta, and broccoli are some of the delectable and straightforward Italian dishes that exist, yet you won't encounter them at Italian restaurants until now.

The diverse flavors of Italian food vary from region to region, and with nonni hailing from both the North and South of Italy, the fortunate individuals at Cugini's Fitzroy have been raised with an immense variety of mouthwatering Italian delicacies. The menu reflects Aeolian and Venetian influences, featuring dishes like pasta alla norma and pasta pescatore, all prepared using cherished family recipes handed down through generations, from the rich sugo al pomodoro to the meticulously crafted handmade agnolotti.

The wood-fired pizzas, adhering to the traditional Neapolitan style, are a highlight of the restaurant. The dough is rested for a generous 72 hours, and each pizza is adorned with San Marzano tomatoes, creamy fior di latte, and fragrant fresh basil - exemplified by the classic Margherita. Cugini's Fitzroy has curated a diverse dinner menu and an enticing spritz cocktail selection, ensuring there's something for every palate.

Daniel Cester, the owner, embarked on his culinary journey with his first pizzeria, Pizza Strada & Bar, in 2018, located in Dandenong North, and quickly gained popularity for offering high-quality and affordable wood-fired pizza. Now, his latest venture, Cugini's Fitzroy, fulfills his lifelong dream of sharing traditional, home-cooked Italian fare with the world.

The restaurant prides itself on sourcing fresh produce from their favorite fruit shop, Dom's Balaclava Fruit Mart, while the meats and cheeses are acquired from the most reputable suppliers of authentic Italian ingredients in Melbourne.
