About Attenzione! Food & Wine

Redfern’s sharpest dinner ticket ditches trattoria clichés for pure sprezzatura—honest cooking, sharp wine, zero pretension. Diners pack the tables for plates with serious bite: textured octopus ragù trottole, sweet pipis pooling in butter sauce built for bread-dunking, and a standout mushroom salad. Low light glows beneath a centerpiece chandelier as dinner shifts to the rhythm of a live jazz band, while celebratory crews share the Great Feast alongside pours of Samantha May Grenache.

  • Inventive Italian Plates: Standout plates sidestep trattoria staples with dishes like textural octopus ragù trottole, rich buttery pipis, and a seasonal mushroom salad.
  • Moody Dining & Live Music: Dimly lit, atmospheric dining centered around a dramatic chandelier, occasionally paired with live jazz band sets.
  • The 'Great Feast' Menu: A dedicated shared feast built for large tables that readily adapts to tricky dietary needs without missing a beat.
