Book NowAbout Lana
Slip through Grana on Young Street and head upstairs to Lana, where Italian tradition meets punchy Asian crossover. Sydney foodies point straight to the duck doughnuts and citrus-dressed scallop crudo, followed by a warm, house-baked focaccia. Pasta holds its own—especially the chili-spiked rigatoni hitting an exact al dente alongside squid ink risotto. But the real curveball on the table is the salted egg and kaffir lime potatoes, trailed by a pour of vintage red guided by the sommelier.
- Asian-Italian Menu: Italian pasta and classics accented with kaffir lime, salted egg, and citrus notes.
- Hidden Entry: Tucked on the second floor, reached by walking straight through ground-floor Grana.
- Polished Service: Tailored wine guidance and celebratory hospitality fit for anniversaries and milestones.
