I've made at least half a dozen attempts to dine at Barbagallo over the past 12 months ... yesterday I finally got there and it didn't disappoint. Pietro Barbagallo has come a long way from his first pizzeria, the loveable higgledy piggledy kooky and quirky East Brunswick outpost, I Carusi. The food is still to the same high standard that made Carusi a stellar success in the 'new pizza' stakes, it's just delivered in a sophisticated salon suited to the suits. Barbagallo Trattoria e Pizzeria, 103 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne.
