Project Bistro

The verdict

If you’re after cool bar vibes served up with a fine dining chef, then Project is exactly what you’re looking for.

Chef Andrea Assenza brings his Sicilian style to Mascot, combining his delicious food creations with a restaurant that is dripping in just the right kind of ambience, we’re talking shiny black tiles, wooden table tops, exposed brick and chrome bar stools.

The devil is in the detail, with everything at this Sydney restaurant well thought through. From their epic antipasto board, with the creamiest of burrata and vine ripened tomato, to traditional wood oven pizzas drizzled with their home made chilli oil and hand made pastas that Nonna would happily eat.

Plating up breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner seven days a week these guys have you and your buds sorted. Be sure to pop in for a spit roast dinner one Thursday or Friday and always, always leave room for dessert. With a qualified pastry chef on staff their crème puff and ricotta calzone are exactly what you need to hit that after dinner sweet spot.
