Dilano's

Best Known For

Gourmet pasta plates like linguine with blue swimmer crab, Spanish onion, chilli and rosetta sugo.

For a modern upmarket take on Italian cuisine specialising in risotto and pasta, head to Dilano’s on Gorge Road in Newton. Along with a cosy, relaxed atmosphere and welcoming team, the use of the freshest and finest ingredients will have you returning for more; settle into a purple vibe in honour of owner Johnny Raslan’s late sister Yvonne’s favourite colour and peruse a menu dishing up starters like black lip mussels with capers, chilli, tomato sugo and grilled bread, or octopus carpaccio with greens, Spanish onion, pickles, fried capers and mustard vinaigrette. Gourmet pasta plates such as tagliatelle with chicken, mushroom, Spanish onion, spinach and rosetta sugo tempt; perhaps squid ink risotto hits the mark, with mussels, prawns, scallops, calamari, fish, chilli oil and tomato sugo.
