Hidden down a laneway off Customs Street, Bar Ziti, a bar and Italian kitchen, is serving up casual, produce-led fare sure to satisfy. Small plates take centre stage, with the likes of pizzas, hand-rolled pastas and perfectly crisp calamari available from lunch ‘til late. The menu leans into Italian classics with a modern edge — think brisket lasagne croquettes finished with Parmesan, prawn spaghetti rich with lobster bisque and nduja butter, and a comforting lamb shank ragù pie. For something to share, the cured meat plate or a round of garlic pizza bread makes the perfect start. It’s generous, flavour-packed food designed to mix, match, and linger over. Drinks-wise, ice-cold Peroni pours straight from the tap, cocktails are playful with a polished edge, and the wine list balances local drops with international intrigue.
