4-10pm Mon-Fri, noon-10pm Sat & Sun;

This rather utilitarian space is
bella-
fied by red gingham tablecloths, the odd splash of
Roman and Venetian art and excellent, authentic Italian fare. Wood-fired pizzas with
simple, high-quality toppings and homemade pastas are the stars of the show, supported
by fine $10 desserts, thoughtful service and a baroque soundtrack.
Redcliff Cafe

12 Mokonui St; mains $31-39; 4-10pm)
Housed in a replica old settler's cot-
tage, relaxed Redcliff offers generous fine dining in a convivial atmosphere backed by
sharp service. The predominantly locally sourced food is truly terrific: try the wild ven-
ison or hare. Kick off or wind it up with a drink in the rustic front bar, which often hosts
live music.
