Book NowAbout Bar Romantica
Bar Romantica dials up pure mood on Brunswick's stretch of Lygon Street—curved red booths, low lighting, and candlelit tables made for two. Mid-week regulars lock in on the thirty-dollar pizza and wine special. Woodfired crust lands blistered and airy beneath garlic mushrooms, while warm bread cuts into burrata pooling in smoked olive oil. Even the cabbage side holds its own, finished with the dry crunch of almond pangrattato.
- Moody Booth Seating: Private red leather booths, low illumination, and candlelit tables set a relaxed, moody tone for date nights.
- Woodfired Pizza: Pizzas feature blistered woodfired crusts, with toppings like garlic mushroom, pork, and savory salami.
- Mid-Week Wine & Pizza Special: A popular $30 mid-week bundle combines a woodfired pizza with a glass of wine.
- Savory Antipasti & Sides: Plates include burrata with smoked olive oil, warm pane di casa, and charred cabbage finished with almond pangrattato.

We had the mid week pizza and wine deal for $30 so was quite worth it considering each pizza is around $26.
