Best Italian Restaurants in Hawthorne

Outstanding place for an Italian experience. My husband and I (from NZ) visited Doughcraft after watching MKR. Amazing starters and best pasta we ever had. Worth a visit.

Beautiful restaurant ! Food and service was impeccable from the moment we booked to the very end! Very impressive and we all loved it for our family Christmas .

I ordered the slow cooked lamb with broccolini and roast potatoes, it was delicious, like a true home cooked dinner. My husband ordered the pizza Angelo, he loved the thin crispy pizza base and the lamb was tender and the topping full of flavour. The torte for desert - superb! We shared it and ended our beautiful night out with a walk across the river on the footbridge..

The food and drinks were only bettered by the extremely friendly,helpful staff who made our visit exceptional

We followed this chef from a restaurant in Samford. We were devastated when he left there as it was never the same. Needless to say when we found out he was here at Italia Lane we eagerly awaited our booking and he did not disappoint! We had an evening booking and the atmosphere was delightful, the aesthetic very pleasing. Adam was super welcoming treating us like long lost friends. The wait staff were all wonderful, polite and full of smiles. Chef Rinno was superb as always. With our party size we had the Leave it to Chef menu and everything delivered to us was a gastronomical delight and there was plenty of it! If you order a pizza, don't leave the crusts they taste great, a flavour of their own!
