About Nuzza

Regional Kilmore scores city-caliber Italian cooking with house-made pasta, crusty focaccia, and an open hearth. Chesterfields sit beside a blazing wood stove, while diners tuck into bowls of slow-cooked beef cheek ragu and plates of crisp arancini. Regulars point to the 'Tutto Bene' shared feast for two, loading the table with salumi, burrata, and pasta before rounding out the evening over local red wine by the hearth.

  • 'Tutto Bene' Shared Feast: A dedicated sharing menu for two pairing house focaccia, salumi, and burrata with your pick of pasta and sides.
  • Wood Fire & Chesterfields: Chesterfield couches and a blazing fireplace sit alongside an open kitchen, full bar, and regional Victorian wine list.
  • Thursday Lasagna Tradition: Midweek diners flock to the kitchen for its dedicated Thursday lasagna special alongside seasonal fresh pastas.
