Book NowAbout Tippy-Tay
Tippy-Tay turns Flinders Lane into high-tempo Italian holiday chaos, complete with live DJs and a working Negroni fountain. It is loud, unapologetic, and built for a night out. Dining tables share oversized towers of limoncello spritz before handing dinner decisions over to the multi-course Feed Me lineup. Plates land in quick succession: warm focaccia, cacio e pepe arancini, and al dente beef ragu or crisp pork cotoletta, while waitstaff steer the floor with easy sprezzatura. The meal wraps simply—spoons scraping through bowls of tiramisu and crisp ricotta cannoli as the bass carries into the late evening.
- Zoned DJ Atmosphere: Multi-level dining spaces paired with dedicated resident DJ setups that keep Flinders Lane running at high volume.
- Limoncello Spritz Towers: Generous communal pours designed for group dinners alongside signature cocktail selections.
- Feed Me Feasting: A curated multi-course progression featuring house arancini, fresh pasta courses, and crisp cotoletta.
- Attentive Table Service: Front-of-house teams celebrated for keeping large celebrations effortless and on time.
