Flaminia, the Pilu team’s just-opened Circular Quay restaurant, is already earning its spot among the best Italian restaurants in Sydney. Think Mediterranean-inspired interiors, a front-row crudo bar for oysters and scallops, and a menu that travels Italy’s great port towns one plate at a time. Don’t skip the paccheri alla scoglio or the limoncello baba. Trust us.
