Offering a modern Italian dining experience, head to Augello’s Ristorante and Pizzeria on Whitehorse Road in Balwyn to appease serious hunger. A moody vibe of plush dark grey velvet banquettes, black subway tiles and a wall covered with specials sets the tone for chilled-out dining from an extensive menu of gourmet pizza, pasta and Italian favourites. Say ciao to a glass of red and starters like housemade chicken liver and cognac pâté, crusty bread and cornichons, before signature pasta plates of fettuccine, prawns, crab, olive oil, lemon juice, chilli and garlic; or delve into risotto with crispy skin duck, wild mushrooms, goats’ cheese and spinach. Pizza lovers can pick up a slice topped with Moroccan chicken, sun-dried tomato, Spanish onion, roasted peppers, lime and yoghurt dressing.
