Best Italian Restaurants in Wollongong

4 Min Read
Looking for some italian near you?

There is a special thing with Italian food, it just feels different doesn't it? Perhaps it is the comfort of a Spaghetti Carbonara, or a long slow cooked ragu, or is it the pleasure of biting into fresh mozzarella on a wood fired pizza, or that first swig of a lambrusco. And of course, you have to finish the meal with dessert. Tiramisu? Cannoli? Which you will find throughout our list of italian restaurants in Wollongong.

Whatever it is, Wollongong has fully embraced la dolce vita, with a number of Italian restaurants that bring the flavours of Rome, Naples and other places to the South Coast. Whether you are after a quick bite or planning the best dinner date in Wollongong, these local favourites will not disappoint.

Wollongong is not only a surfers’ paradise but also has a vibrant food scene that can compete with Sydney. If you are local or just visiting these places to eat in Wollongong will take you straight to Italy without a passport. From family run places where nonna still makes the sauce to contemporary eateries expanding the boundaries of traditional Italian flavours, there is something for everyone. Think hand stretched pizza, with San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella, creamy risottos with saffron and wild mushrooms, and seafood pastas inspired by the nearby coastline.

    Don't Miss The Italian Experience

    Eating out is not just about food, it’s about the whole experience. It is a phenomenon to greet your customers with a warm welcome and treat them to limoncello after the meal. That’s the real Italian hospitality – it’s real, it’s welcoming and it keeps people coming back for more.

    From the heart of Wollongong in Illawarra to the hidden places along the South Coast, the Italian food scene is full of passion, tradition and a touch of colour. So go ahead—twirl that fork, enjoy that last sip of espresso and let your taste buds take you to the hills of Tuscany or the coast of Amalfi.

    Mangia Bene, Wollongong!
