Fresh food really does make a difference, from hand-stretched pizza to housemade pasta you'll find it all on the menu at Cucina by La Dolce Vita on Ann Street in Fortitude Valley. Located in Brisbane's trendiest dining area, this Italian restaurant has a covered alfresco area for Summer days while indoors oozes charm with exposed brick, suspended bulb lighting and a lively buzz of conversation. Expect to find classic dishes on the menu, such as porcini, sage and truffle arancini to start, served with Napoli sauce and Parmigiano, or garlic King prawns and crusty bread; pizza lovers opt for Capricciosa – fior di latte, ham, artichokes, mushroom and olives on a tomato base. Perhaps crispy skin salmon hits the mark, with roast potatoes, sautéed garlic, spinach, lemon butter and caper sauce.
