The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy. Start with an aperitivo to open the palate, enjoy a local or Italian wine varietal and finish with a soothing digestive.Briscola is situated conveniently in the heart of the city near hotels and public transport.Sit inside or alfresco, Briscola seems to suit anyone… families, young couples, group functions and corporate luncheons. You can walk-in, but please book, it gets busy!

We had such an amazing time being looked after by the attentive staff and felt absolutely treated by their spectacular burlesque and belly dance performers. Their set menu provided the perfect amount of delicious food that set of fireworks in our minds. Perfectly cooked meat that melted in our mouths with flavour that left you in awe. An absolute treat to anyone that has the chance to try their signature cocktails and atmosphere.
