If Port's fancy fusion/Mod Oz/culinary-
buzzword-du-jour menus are wearing you out, head to Han for good comfort food.
They've been in town forever, and dish up familiar, tasty staples, such as honey chicken
and black-bean beef, on a candlelit deck.
Sassi Cucina e Bar
( 07-4099 6744; cnr Wharf & Macrossan Sts; mains $26-49; noon-10pm)
Scrimp, save, steal to
splurge on an authentic Italian feast at this legendary local. Owner-chef Tony Sassi's spin
on seafood is world-renowned, but the taste of absolutely anything off the menu will
linger longer than your Four Mile tan.

novative ways.
