NORTHERN ITALIAN CUISINE
IN THE HEART OF GEELONG
Caruggi is the medieval centre of Genoa, translating as little alleyway in Genovese dialect, it is the labyrinth that meanders from the old port arcades of Sottoripe through ancient Genoa connecting small squares and opening up to reveal Cathedrals. The Caruggi have always housed small artisanal shops and many still serve typical dishes and foods as they have done for 100’s of years.
Our wine list has a focus on indigenous Italian grape varieties as well as Italian varieties grown in Australia. We have a wide selection that covers some iconic growers and makers as well as some emerging stars.
Our bar area is open all day for coffee, cakes, beer, or wine. The perfect place to spend the afternoon discovering our list of regional Amaros and Grappa.
