Robertos is bringing a new approach to the pub meal at the revitalised Bangor Tavern, with the venue recently relaunching.
Located in Sydney’s southwest, the menu combines Italian-inspired dishes with classic pub favourites bringing an elevated dining option to locals.
Owned by the local team behind Bobbys Cronulla, Adam and Kylie Micola - Robertos is a fresh take on pub dining, with the menu designed by the Bobbys team.
Robertos’ owner, Adam Micola says: "Our heavily alfresco forward venue is so well suited for Robertos to provide our customers a gentle pivot into the regions of Italy. Curated to inject more personality into the venue, Robertos is promising to deliver on all you love about a pub meal, just with a whole lot more fun.”
The Robertos menu has been designed to reflect accessible Italian dishes combined with classic pub favourites, with highlights including: grilled octopus with nduja vinaigrette, chickpeas, oregano; fried prawns, garlic, chilli, parsley, lemon and focaccia; chicken schnitzel with cabbage and fennel slaw, fries, lemon, gravy; pappardelle beef shin ragù, tomato, red wine, parmesan; chicken parmigiana, Napoletana sauce, prosciutto cotto and stracciatella and pizzas including the piccantissima with tomato, hot salami, fior di latte, calabrese chilli.
Paying homage to the menu’s Italian take on pub food, a gelato cart featuring fresh Italian flavours such as pistachio, chocolate and pannacotta will also be available by the scoop.
The beverage program has been curated by Sydney hospitality figure, Alex Cameron (owner of Table Manners and ex-Franca, Parlar and Armorica). The wine list focuses on Australian varietals with several overseas features, including emerging brand Golden Hour from the Central Ranges of New South Wales, with a Pinot Gris and Merlot on the menu, an Eden Valley Riesling from Dead Man Walking and a Cantina Di Negrar Pinot Grigio, as well as organic juices.
The elevated cocktail list will showcase Italian-style spritzes featuring ingredients such as Limoncello, Campari and Aperol. Jugs and pints of local beer will also be available, with a rotating ‘Beer of the Month’ featuring independent breweries.
The tavern’s recent redesign has again been led by celebrated design studio Tom Mark Henry. The refresh fuses warm Mediterranean tones with a contemporary design - a neutral colour palette with touches of terracotta.
The venue’s update also includes an extension to the popular children’s playground as well as a new sports lounge featuring a 3.5 metre indoor screen.
Robertos at Bangor Tavern is open 7 days a week from 11 am till late.
