Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant. Now with a newly refurbished venue, it offers an unpretentious yet stylish approach to an authentic Italian dining experience.At the forefront it’s about the food: simple, wholesome and traditional without being old fashioned. 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!

    My partner and I dined here for the first time tonight. We ordered the feed me menu - omni for him and vegetarian for myself. There was no issue when we asked for my food to be made vegan and gluten free. Some replacements had to be made to suit my dietary requirements and everything was absolutely delicious. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was calm and romantic. We are looking forward to going back.

    6 of us celebrated a 21st at Wilma - we thought it was fantastic. The service / staff were great and food interesting - we opted for the "Feed me" - a Chef's selection of 8 dishes. All beautifully presented - $76pp. We had organised Bombe Alaska at home so didn't stay for dessert, but Honor (server) presented us with 6 small Portugese tarts and a candle. This is the 2nd time we have had staff go out of their way to follow up on a guest comment (previously, they popped across the road to Akiba to get Green Tea as it wasn't available!).

    Beautiful food, delicious well balanced and stunningly presented. The Italian wine was a great recommendation, so good we had to buy one to take home. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Will be back next time we are in town. Thanks for a memorable night.
