Whether you're after a nice Italian meal, ramen noodles, a cheese and charcuterie board, or Thai food, Newtown and Enmore has literally everything.
Modern Italian dishes designed for sharing. Need to book ahead. The food is delicious.

I love the Mac ‘n cheese, the porchetta and roasted cauliflower here. Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious.

Good service. Great place to get some Italian food before a show at the Enmore theatre opposite.
La Ricetta Italian Restaurant
This is a large restaurant and it's always busy here. Lots of birthday parties are held here. It's a well-known and loved Thai restaurant in Newtown.

This casual Italian eatery is always busy. Just join the queue, order your favourite pasta or main dish and sides, take your number and find a table. It's a very energetic place.

There's 2 Pastizzi cafes in Newtown. The more restaurant version at 109 King St, and the more casual one at 523 King St. I love their chicken and mushroom and their apple pastizzi.

I love the pizzas here. They're made of hand-stretched dough and are wood-fired Napoli style. Photos are of the Formaggi pizza and the special they had on that night - the Eggplant Parmigiana. Photos by Kirsten Lowe.
