Piccolo Mondo Italian Restaurant

Best Known For

Spaghetti with black ink sauce, white wine, prawns, calamari, scallops and lemon zest.

Traditional Italian trattoria, Piccolo Mondo on Carlton’s trendy Lygon Street dining strip is the place to head for authentic homestyle cuisine in a polished setting. With rustic bare brick walls adorned with artwork, courtyard tables under twinkling fairy lights and a balcony, it is hard to go past this restaurant for inspired Italian dining with family and friends while savouring regional and Chef specialties. Pair a Ruby Relaxer cocktail with starters of natural oysters with smoked salmon and caviar, or scallops pan-fried in garlic, butter, sage and lemon sauce; before pasta plates such as rigatoni with housemade meatballs, Napoli sauce, basil and Parmesan. Perhaps grilled lamb cutlets entice, marinated in lemon, garlic and rosemary, or veal saltimbocca topped with prosciutto and sage.
