Italian Street Kitchen brings all the flavours, energy, and charm of a European summer holiday right to your doorstep, right here in Australia. 

Key takeaways

1. Start with a Spritz at Sunset 

In Italy, aperitivo hour is sacred. At Italian Street Kitchen, we honour that tradition with our Italian Drinks at Sunset—weekdays from 5–6pm. Sip on $10 Italian cocktails or grab a $5 glass of wine or beer and enjoy that golden glow that makes everything feel just a little more like the Amalfi Coast.
