The true spirit of simple Italian home cooking is captured in an airy comfortable space tucked into the laneways of Newmarket. For a quick casual meal, the Panuozzo menu offers tasty Italian grilled sandwiches – meatballs, mozzarella, red sauce and rocket – and the pizzas are lively and delicious. LoOts of classic Italian snacks, pasta plates and risotto, and friendly staff that make everyone, including kids and grandmas, welcome.
