Spritz Spizzicheria

Mount Hawthorn’s boisterous corner of la dolce vita serves handmade pasta, blistered pizza, and oversized spritzes at breakneck speed. Franco and his floor team greet the dining room with a passionate Buongiorno, setting a lively tone where diners are treated like extended family. It is strictly walk-in only—queues routinely spill onto Scarborough Beach Road, but tables turn fast. Settle in, order a signature spritz, and the kitchen sends out complimentary antipasto boards loaded with bread, cheese, and cured meats while you wait for rich bowls of agnolotti or a crisp diavola. Water glasses stay topped up without asking, wine pours generously, and the meal wraps neatly with housemade tiramisu or a scoop from the adjoining gelato counter.
