About Osteria di Russo & Russo Enmore

Enmore locals slip into this candle-lit trattoria for handmade pasta cut with bold, modern twists. Two intimate floors pair timber and marble with wax-dripped bottles and framed family photos, keeping the vibe unpretentious. Regulars lean into the prawn mafalde rich with mussel butter, crab linguini swirled in sea urchin butter, and crisp arancini brought out in vintage tins. The kitchen builds serious depth without fine-dining stiffness, backed by sharp, casual bottle guidance and a finish of layered tiramisu.

  • Old-School Intimacy: Timber floors, marble tables, and wax-dripped wine bottles set a warm, relaxed mood across two intimate levels.
  • Modern Trattoria Plates: Handmade pastas feature coastal twists like mussel butter mafalde and sea urchin butter linguini alongside rich bone marrow.

  • Bolognese Bone Marrow

    My all time favorite dish that I order every visit is the Bolognese Bone Marrow, packed with intense unique flavours and loaded with natural collagen, it's a not too common dish and made to perfection each time.
