Book NowAbout Civico 47
Set along Windsor Street in Paddington, Civico 47 delivers polished Italian cooking with easy *sprezzatura*—a natural match for date nights and milestones. High heritage ceilings, warm timber, and low lighting give the room the easy intimacy of an Eastern Suburbs terrace. Across the multi-course tasting menu, the floor team resets silver and refills glasses without breaking the table's relaxed rhythm. Diners in the know point straight to the prawn mafalde, though the kitchen’s true anchor is the dry-aged duck, roasted with crisp skin and balanced by mandarin. The meal closes smoothly over blood orange cocktails and a finishing pour of house-made limoncello.
- Signature Dry-Aged Duck: In-house dry-aged duck roasted with crisp skin and balanced with mandarin citrus notes, anchored as the kitchen's signature main.
- Choreographed Tasting Menus: Multi-course chef menus executed with fine-dining choreography, including regular table resets and cutlery refreshes between courses.
- Intimate Date-Night Setting: High historic ceilings, warm neighborhood energy, and attentive floor service geared for milestone celebrations and intimate date nights.
