About Testun Bar

Mount Lawley’s playful dining room flips traditional trattoria conventions on their head with energetic, cross-cultural Italian fare. The kitchen leans hard into audacious pairings—warm house focaccia slathered in whipped maple and Vegemite butter, stir-fried eggplant dusted with parmesan and crushed Pizza Shapes, and Japanese-inspired fusilli. Menus shift every few weeks, giving regulars a steady stream of fresh experiments alongside sharp natural wines and balanced dirty martinis. Staff work the compact dining room with genuine ease, navigating dietary tweaks without fuss and occasionally pouring a splash of sparkling if your table runs behind. Diners finish with deconstructed cannoli and house-made limoncello while the room hums with conversation.

  • Rule-Breaking Menu: The kitchen blends Italian standards with unexpected Aussie and Asian twists, from Vegemite butter focaccia to laksa pasta.
  • House Focaccia: Starters center on warm, thick focaccia paired with savory whipped maple and Vegemite or miso butter.
  • Regular Menu Shifts: New pasta shapes and seasonal savory plates cycle through the board every few weeks.

  • Stir fried eggplant

    we had a stir fried eggplant dish reminiscent of that of a Chinese restaurant except it was then topped with Parmesan basil and pizza shapes crushed up as breadcrumbs. It was delicious.
