Bar Infinita

 Bar Infinita is a neighbourhood Italian with a fiery edge. Namely, head chef Francesco Iervolino, who has spent time in the kitchens at some of Sydney's best Italian and wood-fired restaurants: Ormeggio and Firedoor. 

There's no pizza here—instead,  Bar Infinita's flame-licked pizza oven is used to crisp-up the house focaccia and a neat edit of steak cuts like a Tajima wagyu striploin and a Riverina Black Angus T-bone Fiorentina. 

This is backed up with handmade pasta, like lobster linguine, squid ink tagliolini, and a rigatoni Amatriciana.

And, it wouldn't be Italian without antipasti, and Bar Infinita goes all out. Think oysters with Limoncello granita and finger lime, short rib croquettes, crispy fried chicken with fermented chili mayo, and gnocco fritto with San Daniele prosciutto. 

Cocktails fit the theme, with a Limoncello spritz, an Amalfi sour, and a Garibaldi Negroni all included. There are some fun extras in the mix too, like a Fragola mezcal margarita and a Melone Misto Caprioska with fresh crushed watermelon.
